Revit automatically names the new level for you based on the last
level created. So in this case, Level 3 is the correct sequence and
you don't need to rename it. If you did want to rename the new level,
you'd select the level line and click the level name after it turns blue.
Press Esc to exit the Level tool.

level symbol is black, not blue like the others. This means there is not
a corresponding plan view for this level.

Views, and then click Floor Plan. The New Floor Plan dialog appears.
Only levels that don't have views are listed. In this case, you should
see only the Roof level. Click OK to create a new view associated with
this level.
You can double-click
the blue level markers
to open the plan view
associated with that
level. You can also dou-
ble-click any blue view
symbol such as a section
marker, elevation tag,
or a callout head.
