What did you mean "load"? Which Revit version?

For 2013, try this, start a new project, draw any wall;

then pick that wall, say it's a basic wall; in the properties browser extend the down arrow on the right-hand corner;

scroll down, then you will see curtain wall, exterior glazing, storefront.

If you can not see them, then go to any project to have those type of walls;

draw 3 walls, change one to a storefront, another to an exterior glazing, the third to a curtain wall.

Then copy and paste to the new project.

Hope that can help.

Of course - just open up a template ( i.e the empty revit file you started with ) and it will be in there. Now with that open, open up your current model file and go to manage and click transfer project standards ( its within the settings section). Untick everything except the curtain wall panels and types /  systems etc. This will transfer it back in for you.
