Hello, I have installed Revit before 4 days and I'm starting to investigate it.Till now we haven't use Revit in our office because we didn't need to,but now we have to.We have a house that is architectual project and we want to create the HVAC system. My question is : We have the project in revit file,but when we start to draw something we don't have the ducts,the pipes,the mechanical equipment from the samples.From where we can load them??? I know how to load families and dowloaded blocks but we need the ducts and pipes from the sample project. We have another problem too,when we download a block file from somewhere,for example a Radiator,when we want to create a system with it we can't,what is the problem,the program cannot recognize the radiator or what???  Thank you in advance.

 My question in simple way: How I can load the families from the samples,because when I start a new project,I can not use them in the project,they are not loaded.I have to load them from a library or somewhere else.

What Revit program do you have installed?  If you have MEP installed you can just go to insert, load families then find the family that you want in the project and insert it.

"when we download a block file from somewhere,for example a Radiator,when we want to create a system with it we can't,what is the problem,the program cannot recognize the radiator or what???"

What do you mean "create a system"  Like you want to be able to attach piping to the radiator?  Do do that you need to open up the family and add in the correct connectors in Revit MEP if they are not there already
