Troubles with storefront.

[boofredlay]

I am new to Revit so forgive me.

I have placed a storefront wall in the entrance to a building and I am trying to add the double storefront doors. I cannot load them in doors, walls, windows or components.

Please help.

Please help.Regular Doors cannot be placed in curtainwalls - you have to use a Curtainwall Door. First, load from library - in the Doors folder, there are a couple of doors named Curtain Wall Dbl Glass.rfa and Curtain Wall-Store Front-Dbl.rfa. Then select the panel you want to replace with a door, and choose the door in the Type Selector dropdown list.

That is just it, when I try to load the:
"curtain Wall Dbl Glass.rfa and Curtain Wall-Store Front-Dbl.rfa"
...none of them show up. I am confused.

You have to select a panel in your curtain wall (hover your cursor over the panel where you want the door, and hit Tab until the status line at the botton of the screen says System Panel, then pick it), and then look under the Type Selector list. You can then choose Curtain Wall Dbl Glass.

To flip the swing direction, again select the door panel by tabbing as needed, and the control arrows will show up.
