Well,

I am not super new to Revit.  I use to only be able to use it when working where they had it.  I am very good at AutoCAD but realized Revit blows it away minus a few weird things.  Anyway, it took me a long time to figure out the whole view range thing.  Once I learned that floor plans are you looking down and ceilings you looking up it got much easier.  I probably will be posting a lot so get ready Reviters.  

Quick question while I am here.  I drew some detail lines on a floor plan for the perimeter of the bldg where I was going to make a wall and then use the "pick lines" feature.  I did this with a curtain wall and it worked, however, I made the corners have radii.  When I made the curtain walls they didnt curve.  I made a floor it curved.  Any ideas.  I am guessing curtain walls dont curve on revit.  They sure as hell do in life.  Any help would be great.

Tnx!

I eould like to correct your statement about ceilings.   RCP means "REFLECTED" ceiling plan.  The view is down but a reflection of what is up.

Using construction lines on plans is a poor practice and only slows you down.  Just draw the walls using the temporary dimensions that show to contol length and location.

Although you can have curved curtain walls, they are not typical.  Revit's curtain walls are typical in that they are segmented, straight sections to form a curve.  To curve a segmented curtain wall, sketch the curve and add grids or use a pre-formated curtainwall that has a defined grid spacing.

To get a special, truely curved glass and mullion curtainwall, you have to create a mass and us that to define the CW.  You can read about that in your help.
