Sometimes the families you download from this site are not usable. Also some things which people say are doors are really not doors and my be listed under your components drop down box. There are also curtain wall doors which are different than just plain doors.
What family in particular are you trying to use?

You are right it is a curtain wall door. this is the name of the door i downloaded.
Curtain_Wall_Automatic_Sliding_Door_1832.rfa
How do i access it? when i try to load it again, it says it is already loaded but i can't find the stinking thing under any of the drop boxes!! I'm still very new to Revit (just started a couple of days ago) and it's the little things that are driving me nuts!!

i think in this case you have to have curtain grid placed and once you select the curtain grid check the type selector and you should see a list of available curtian wall objects
i am not sure, but i think
as i am new to revit also and just reading and doing ever tutoriali i can find, but the one i watched this morning was on curtain walls and grids and it said that they are not really doors.
hope this helps,
best regards,
coreed,aia

Curtain wall doors are really just curtain panel types that schedule themselves as doors. If you establish a curtain system, select a curtain panel (hover and press tab to get an individual panel). Once you have an individual curtain panel selceted, then in the drop-down box change that panel type to the curtain door panel you loaded into your project.
You will notice a couple of things when you do this. One, you can change a curtain panel to a "wall" type. You can use this to do precast buildings and a variety of other things. Two, you will see that the way to control the doors size is to make sure the grids of your curtain wall system define the correct size panel.

That was very helpful info.
However now that i have a curtain wall created with the grid set up to the right dimensions, i cant get the door to insert right side up. i have two curtain wall doors that need to go side by side and while one went in correctly, the other came in on its side. So, i deleted one of panels drew new lines and went throught the process again and this time it came in upside down. am i doing something wrong or is this some kind of glitch?
oh nevermind....I guess 23rd time's the charm!!

There is a glitch I think with Revit and curtain wall doors. I tend to not use them myself as they are too difficult to control. What I do instead is select the curtain panel they would have gone in to, and change it to a wall. Then I simply insert regular doors into that wall that replaced the curtain panel. You still have to be careful where your curtain grids fall and that your doors are created properly to reflect the conditions your are trying to represent.
