    Unable to add Part Families or sizes

    I don't work with Pipe Networks much and I'm a little tired as many in the northeast are. But I can't figure this out. Yesterday I added a rectangular junction structure to the pipe network. I had to add that particular size to the list but no big deal. This morning there are no rectangular junction structures in the list. 

    I'm using the Standard Style. When I try to add the "Rectangular Structure Slab Top Rectangular Frame SI" parts family to the list I get this Error:

     I've checked the parts catalog.

     I tried opening the Parts Builder and verifying the Parts Family and got this result:

     But even after validation and saving I still get the error.

     

    As always any help is appreciated.

    Hey Allen,

     

    Never seen that before but I would wonder if you are ttrying edit the metric catalog when the imperial catalog is the 'current' catalog.

     

    See if SetNetworkCatalog shows the metric catalog as the current catalog. If not set it current or edit the imperial parts.

    Hey John,

     

    If you look at the second image in my post it shows the result of SetNetworkCatalog.

     

    How'd Irene treat you? Personally I'm fine but some of the County is kind of a mess.

    I've also replaced the AeccPartParamCfg.xml file with the original from the installation with no results.

    We were lucky. Some flooding and lots of power outages but it is minor compared to the rest of the storm path.

     

    Grasping at straws.. Did you regen the catalog after adding the new stc? Partcatalogregen.

    Good thought but it didn't help. Same error. It says the Metric Structure Catalog isn't set. But it is. I've drilled down in the folders and the parts are there and match the original install.

     

    Thanks

    Another piece of the puzzle. Everything seems to be there. But I can't add it.

     

    Nope. I now see Error: Part Type parameter not validated. Now what causes that?
