The template is usually unavailable when the &ldquo;Bentley Property Catalog Service&rdquo; is not running properly in the Services dialog. Please try the following to troubleshoot:

Open Services dialog (This can be opened under Windows > Windows Administrative tools > Services) and you should see &ldquo;Bentley Property Catalog Service&rdquo; Running and should be set to Automatic (see image Below): 
 If this is not running please reboot the machine and see if the service is running 
 If yes, open OBM and see if the library shows

If this does not resolve the issue please open "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\Engineering\SPC Server v8i SS4\Tools\Bentley.Structural.PropertyCatalog.ManagementStudio.exe" 
 And check if you can see as shown below (Section Subsystem > Sections > Australia > STEEL > Hot Rolled > AS/NZS > Ver 3679.1-300 > OneSteel > &hellip; and double click on any section to see if it opens I the panel on the right as shown below. This is just to verify that the SPC service is running correctly and that the sections catalog is also installed properly.

My &ldquo;Bentley Property Catalog Service&rdquo; was not running at the first instance. And there wasn't any folder called "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\Engineering". 
 Then I checked how did I installed the software to my system. When I installed the 'obm10080178en.exe' file directly from the Bentley software's, the &ldquo;Bentley Property Catalogue" was not 'Running'. What I did was 
 
 Downloaded the 'Raw_download' SDK's of OBM Version v10.08.01.78 
 Installed the 'SPCServerSetup.08.11.11.21.msi' and 'SPCSetup.3.1.4.5.msi' first 
 Reboot the system and Checked &ldquo;Bentley Property Catalog Service&rdquo; from services and it was in 'Running' mode and 
 The folder and files appeared "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\Engineering\SPC Server v8i SS4\Tools\Bentley.Structural.PropertyCatalog.ManagementStudio.exe" 
 Installed the OBM 'Setup_OpenBridgeModelerx64_10.08.01.78.exe' 
 Opened the OBM Steel bridge file which I working on and the pull down menu was displaying the contents. 
 
 Thanks Dilip for the kind information.
