When you use a structural template as the starting point for a new project, the view properties and ranges are modified to work with structural components.
Although you can work with structural components in projects based on non-structural templates, you must modify view ranges to display the structural components in the view. This is because structural components, such as beams and columns, are placed on the level below the view you are working in. Therefore, they fall below the bottom cut plane of the view range and do not display. The structural template has been modified specifically to take this into account.
