Parametric parts don't work in AMEP 2014

I have tried 2 things, but my parametric parts (created with the Wizard) do not display when placed nto drawing.

 

If I attempt to place an MvPart made with the Parametric Part Wizard, the 'rectangualar terminal - rectangular neck' style base, it will not display in plan view or a 3d view, only a connector appears.

 

Similarly, if I use the PPW to make a newmvpart, then AutoCAD MEP will place it exactly the same as the first one, just the connector showing.

 

This even happens when I place it into a drawing created from an Autodesk-shipped DWT file.

 

Has anybody else noticed this? Suggestions?

My other CAD is a Cadillac and I like to Revit to the Max!

Hi Dustin,

 

Does this happen to every part, or are there some that display correctly?

Could you provide a sample drawing, screenshots, or a quick video to illustrate what you're experiencing?

Which workspace are you in?

And which Display Configuration is current?

Are you rotating the parts at all (3DROTATE)?

I am placing them in plan view. I’ve attached the 2011 and 2014 versions (working and not working, respectively). The catalogs were copied directly from 2011 to 2014 and CATALOGREGEN was run on it.
