I received a workspace from TxDOT but it needs modification. I am wanting to be able to draw (for example a easement line) in the Geometry Builder, however while the feature (ES_Easement) is in the Feature Definitions/Symbology and the Template, it is not located for use in the Feature Definition Tool. Is there a way to add it to the Feature Definition Tool? I have searched on the forums and on Bentley Learn and cannot find anything. I'm currently using ORD 2021 Release 1 v.10.10.01.03 Below is my example.

Stephen, first the Element Templates and Feature Symbologies don't matter. The GB is only looking for Alignment or Linear Feature Definitions. Second, you inserted graphics above don't show enough of the FD folder structure to know if you are even browsing into the same folder / subfolder structure. I've been using the GB quite a bit lately and have not experienced what you are describing. ... I would first make sure that you are browsing into the exact same folder / subfolder location.
Hi Mark, I am fairly new to ORD (3 months in) and I am unfamiliar to the folder structures for ORD, I believe the folder structure for me is C:\TXDOT\CONNECT\Configuration\Organization-Civil\TXDOT\Dgnlib\Feature Definitions all of my dgnlibs reside in there for the Aligment and Linear Feature Definitions to read. They (dgnlibs) have been updated with new information, but I am pretty sure that this is not what I am looking for. Do you have an example of where I should be looking?
I'm not talking about the configuration ... I'm referring to the folder / subfolder structure of the Feature Definitions when you are browsing to them within the software drop-downs. From your snapshots I can't tell if you are even browsing to the same folders. (Maybe you are.) In your first graphic above you show the FDs in the "Easement" folder. Then in the GB you show the FDs in the "Right of Way" folders. Are you expecting to find the same FDs in different folders?
I showed different folders, in GB I was intending on illustrating that I do not have the option to choose the Easement Line. Is there a location that GB pulls the information from?
Missing Easement option, I would think it would be here.
The GB pulls FDs from the same place as the Explorer shows. So what is the exact Folder > subfolder > subfolder locate where this Easement is in the Explorer ORD Standards? ... and are you saying that you cannot browse to that same folder > subfolder > subfolder location in the GB? I have not experienced this. I see the same FDs that I see in the Explorer - Alignments and Linears and the same folders and subfolders in each area.
Yes I cannot browse to that same folder > subfolder > subfolder location in the GB. Here is my exact folder structure in ORD standards.
So Standards>Feature Definition>Survey>Easement.
Do they need to be in the Linear folder Structure? Instead of Survey? If so I believe I can Export an xml to import into the Linear folder structure.
