Noob to Revit. Just started doing the tutorials in Paul Aubin's book "Mastering Revit Architecture 2010". Here's the issue:
I went through a few chapters. Drew an existing building. When I looked at the 3D view in shade mode, all of the windows and doors were gray just like the walls. I can see the frames and glass, etc. But it's solid gray. I looked at the tutorial model on the disc, and you can see the wood frame and clear glass.
I copied the entire drawing that I was having trouble with into a new template, which fixed the problem. All the doors and windows show correctly. My question is what did I screw up in the first place to make the doors and windows solid gray? It's almost like they didn't cut correclty into the wall, but they looked fine in plan view.
Unfortunately, I saved the corrected file over the messed up one, so I can't post it.
