I set the Pressure Network Catalog to one of the sqlite files located here: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2013\enu\Pressure Pipes Catalog\Imperial\
I brought the Pressure Network Parts Lists "Standard" and "Water" into my drawing by dragging it from the Toolspace from the out-of-the-box template _AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS.
When I open the parts list, there is nothing in the material category. (See attachment 1)
On the Pressure Network Plan Layout ribbon, I don't have any parts to select for pipes or fittings (See attachment 2).
Now I can't get it to recognize any pressure network catalogs. I'm using a new profile created with 2013. It was recognizing the pressure network catalogs yesterday. I went to create a new parts list and it says "The current catalog, {%catalogname%} was not found. etc.". I tried setting all three catalogs, and I get the same response.
To answer your question though, if I remember correctly from yesterday, even when I tried to create a new parts list, there were no materials to choose. Just a check box next to an empty line.
I opened a new drawing and tried to create a new Parts List and it gave me materials. Maybe it is just with old drawings that it won't show me materials?
Not really. It seems to be hit or miss. We're getting ready to upgrade to 2014 which supposedly fixed a lot of the pressure network issues. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Browse to C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2014\ita\Pressure Pipes Catalog\Metric, click Open but a msgbox tells me that there aren't pressure pipes catalogs in that folder?! But inside I see Metric_AWWA_PushOn.sqlite! Isn't it?
Did you create a new template for 2013? You must have a 2013 template for the pressure networks to work. If you are using an older drawing, you may want to copy all of the linework into a new 2013 template. Did you try to revise the catalogs at all by adding PVC or changing the part descriptions or anything? This can mess them up so they disappear if it isn't done correctly. Are you setting the Pressure Network Catalog to C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2013\enu\Pressure Pipes Catalog\Metric or Imperial? Meredith
It sounds like you are just selecting the "Imperial" folder and not one of the actual catalogs. You have to open either the "Imperial" or "Metric" folder and then select one of the SQLITE files(Imerpial_AWWA_Flanged.sqlite for example) that houses the materials, fittings, pipes and appertunances. Even then, those libraries are very small. We have been slowly building pressure pipe network parts of our own to meet the needs that we have that AutoDesk did not provide out of the box.
I disagree with you about the Catalog folder path. You need to stop at Imperial or Metric for the path. Then choose which SQLite folder to use for the Catalog database file. Meredith
It worked as long as I used a 2013 profile and a 2013 template. If someone tried to use an older drawing, we had to copy it into a 2013 template, and it seemed to work. I don't know why, but that's what worked for us. I have done the same with 2014 without any issues thus far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
