I have recently installed Revit2012, and there seems to be no families loaded.

For example when i try to create a door a message apears:

"No Windows family is loaded in the project. Would you like to load one now?"

I prefer to have them loaded for any new project and not load everything manually.

Please help.

First time you load families as you required,

after you load all required families, you saves as your personal templete file,

Next time, when you have to start new project, open your personal templete file, saves new project,

All required familes are already loaded.

This may solve your problem.

From your HELP:

1. Click NewProject.
2. In the New Project dialog, under Template file, select:
   • None to create your template from a blank project file.
   • Browse to base your template on an existing project template. Navigate to the template location.
3. Under Create new, select Project template.
4. Click OK.
   NoteIf you do not base the template on an existing template, the Select Initial Units dialog displays. Specify either Imperial or metric units.
5. Define settings.
6. Create any geometry that will be used as a base in future projects.
7. Click Save AsTemplate.
8. Enter a name and select a directory for the template.
9. Click Save.
