Revit 24 Starting a Structural from provided Architectural model

[Raincrow33]

Hello, I'm having trouble finding information on how to use the architectural model as a starting point for the structural elements. Even in the Revit 23 textbook I have, it refers to creating a structural drawing in a different project/template and Revit 24 does not seem to have the same option.  I have the architect's model and it seems redundant to recreate so much of the building structure. Can you help me 'copy' or 'link' the architect's model to a base that I can start adding structural elements to?

You need to create a new a New Project using a Structural Template

From the Opening Screen New Project > Pick the Structural Template

If there is no Template use "Browse", the Templates are locate here;

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2023\Templates\English - use Structural Analysis-Default.rte

Then from the Insert Tab you Link in the Revit Model.  You can then draw around the Architects model or you can use Copy/Monitor to bring in certain elements from the Architects model, below is a walkthough;
