&lt;td&gt;ATF family&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Problem Description&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In OpenBuildings Designer a series of errors pointing to&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;ATF***FAMILY are generated and&amp;nbsp;the drop-down lists in the Family/Part toolbar are empty:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/750x350/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/SS.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each of the errors in the Message Center is a Family named defined for that specific component type. If the XML files containing those Families cannot be located, then it&amp;rsquo;s likely your configuration is not pointing to the correct folders where those families exist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Steps to Resolve&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 1 :&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;If your entire workspace is on local drive/network drive&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go to Configuration Variables, search for TFDIR_PART and ATFDIR and check whether all the available variables are pointing to correct folder/file locations. If they are pointing to&amp;nbsp;incorrect or non-existent locations, amend&amp;nbsp;them to the correct folder locations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x600/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/02.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case&amp;nbsp;2:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;If you are working from a ProjectWise Managed Workspace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You need&amp;nbsp;to change the assigned value of TFDIR_PART. For that you have to go to PW Administrator then open the CSB where these variables have been assigned from your Datasource and select the corresponding variable (If they been assigned separately during CSB creation) in the CSB dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x750/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/03.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Double click on the variable or click on Edit tools-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x750/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/04.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Assign the correct folders from ProjectWise or network drive and save the CSB file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x750/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/06.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally restart the application to reflect these changes from application settings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/03548.NewLogo.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-width:0px;" alt=" " height="60" src="/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-components-sitefiles/TSG-Logo.png" width="189" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;td&gt;ATF family&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Problem Description&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In OpenBuildings Designer sometimes series of errors for ATF family gets generated and no family gets available in Active Family drop down&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " height="308" src="/resized-image/__size/500x750/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/wiki.png" width="577" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Steps to Resolve&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 1 :&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;If your entire workspace is in local drive/network drive&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x600/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/02.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case&amp;nbsp;2:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;If you are working from ProjectWise Managed Workspace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You need&amp;nbsp;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.&amp;nbsp; and select the corresponding Part variable (If it has been assigned as a separate one during CSB creation) in the CSB dialog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x750/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/03.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Double click on the variable or click on Edit tools-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x750/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/04.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Assign the correct folder or path from ProjectWise or network drive and save the CSB file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x750/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/06.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
