In OpenBuildings Designer sometimes series of errors for ATF family gets generated and no family gets available in Active Family drop down
Case 1 : If your entire workspace is in local drive/network drive Go to Configuration Variable inside OpenBuildings Designer, search for ATFDIR and check whether all the available variables are pointing to correct folder/file location inside the dataset folder. If it is directing to wrong location, amend it to correct folder location.
Case 2: If you are working from ProjectWise Managed Workspace.
You need to change the assigned value of ATFDIR_PART. For that you have to go to PW Administrator then open the CSB where Architectural Part folder has been assigned from your datasource. and select the corresponding Part variable (If it has been assigned as a separate one during CSB creation) in the CSB dialog.
Double click on the variable or click on Edit tools-
Assign the correct folder or path from ProjectWise or network drive and save the CSB file.
Finally restart the application to reflect these changes from application settings.
