Because you are saving in RTE and not in RVT, check this: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=3448

Because you opened a template file.

If you want to use a template for a project, you need to tell Revit to open it as a project. If you open a template, you can only save as a tempate file and you lose some application abilities like worksharing.

 

Search the help for Creating a Project Using a Template

Thanks. 

 So if I have an .rte file, I can't save it as .rvt?? Do I have to start over?

No,

Save everything you have done so far as an rte file. Then, under the applications menu pick on New > Project.

Then, just browse to the rte file you just saved and then tell it to open as a project.
