I just had REVIT 2014 installed.  For some reason my model isn't visible in other Floor Plan views.  I am trying to create a ceiling plan view like I have done with Revit 1,000 times.  Why isn't the model visible in any view except for the view that I started modeling it in  to begin with?  The only entities visible are the Grid lines?  The only way I can see my model is to "Duplicate" the view.  I have adusted the View Range up/down. Nothing is turned off in the Visibility and graphics.  No links in my project.  No filters or worksets either.  Please help.

Ok.  I think the problem is,  I started with a "Construction" Template instead of an "Architectural" Template.  The "Construction" template is the first choice when starting a new project in RVT 2014 instead of the "Architectural" Template that has been the Default option to choose from in previous releases.

I deleted the templates we don't use so they don't even show up in the list.  You can also set what template is defaulted to.

The difference the template will make is what your view settings are ... you can change those.

Yes.  I just found out how to set the default template to architectural.  Thanks for your help.
