OK, I'll admit it, I'm really new to revit. I work for a GC and am trying to use modeling to gather information (quantities, etc), and I'm also trying to do some design so I know how the project works, but I'm having a rough time of it. Here's my question. I've been trying to model really small projects. The last thing I was trying was a small shed and I wanted to show all the studs so I tried loading the Dimension lumber family and I think I did, but have no clue how to get a 2X4 stud for example. Where am I going wrong?

2x4 studs are detail families. You can use them under the drafting tab - "detail component" - then the choice will appear on your options bar. NOTE: These are 2D elements. Revit does not model studs in walls.

I thought the elements I was bringing in were 3d. This is what I have done. I have put in some vertical studs and attached a 1" thick "wall" to the edge. Can't I model like this? Also, is there a way to have the lines on plan show thinner? When I put a 1" thick wall in plan it looks like a big blob. See attached.

Revit uses a hevy line on each face of a wall. If you put a 1" wall on the face of the studs, each side of the 1" will be heavy. Instead, build your whole wall as one and place your stud families inside the cavity for the studs if you want to.... but I have to ask - why? Why model the studs? If you are doing 3D framing and turn off the walls, that's a different story - but wow - why?

I'm more than inclined to agree with WWHub. Unless you specifically need to show the studs, don't.
