I have the same problem for placing accessories with Place Path. Everything is ok with the 3D cell, I can place it like a cell and it shows fine but if I try to use Place Path in OBM the accessory does not show up in the 3D model. Default accessories from the software works fine but if I modify them they don’t appear too.

Ryan, Please file a service ticket, so we can look into the files.

That didn't seem to do it. It will place one of the cells that comes along with the software (see screenshot), but when I create my own cell, nothing shows up. Is there something with creating the 3D solid in the cell that I'm not doing correctly? It will do the same thing with placing accessories such as bridge rail posts - it will place a rectangular solid but not a more complex shape such as a w-shape, although it will place one of the cells that comes with the software.

I have found this to be a solution to most problems with Functional components. I hope at some point this workflow gets improved so that the functional components can update automatically after editing similar to how families in Revit work.

Seems to me the old cell without the wingwalls is stuck in memory. Can you please rename the model in cell (Do not use Default). Restart the application, and try to place again.
