Pressure Pipe - How do I create new fittings and add it to the content catalog?

I realize the C3D 2013 has just been released, but hoping that someone involved in the beta or Autodesk employee can offer some guidance.  The default parts catalog is a good start, but for production watermain design, it is lacking.  Therefore, I am trying to determine how do add additional content to the parts library.  

 

I have explored the Content Catalog Editor and have been able to add new pipe materials, but it appears that the only way that I can import a part is with a .CONTENT file.  Is there any documentation on how this file is supposed to be configured or created?  Is there any documentation on the Content Catalog Editor in general?  We need to be able to add new pipe, fittings, valves, appurtanences in order to make this new feature usable in a production environment.

 

Thanks in advance,

I know how to build my pressure fittings and save them as .CONTNT files. I also know where to find my Content Catalog Editor.

 

My problem is that when I go to add a new part (either to an existing catalog or start a new one) it will only allow me to add pipe parts no caps/cross/reducers/etc.

 

Is anybody else having this issue?
