Walls are a system family.  Create your own types by duplicating the type you have and defining new.

Doors, windows and columns can all be loaded from your library.

If you want to do architectural elements, make sure under the Revit R / Options tat you have the right tools loaded.  See attached.

"i dont even have that tools and analases bar"

You don't have what tool?  Do you know how to create a new wall type?  All you do is click wall, then on your properties bar click edit type, then duplicate the type, name it whatever you want and under there click structure and make whatever type you want.

Can you post a screen shot of what your view looks like after you pick the wall command? It sounds like something is wrong with your install if that is all you have for your options.  Is the software really from Autodesk?
