Hi Dan,
One of the reasons you may not be seeing the catalogs would be the license type you may have. If you have Design Live Foundations license, then you will only be able to use generic cabinetry. If you have this type of license, it would be normal for you not to see the catalog. If you have a Design Live license, then you should definitely be seeing the catalog in the program.
I would suggest to determine your license type first and if you have a Design Live license, I would then suggest to contact our support department to see what issues you may be experiencing! You can contact us via our toll free number which is 1.866.697.2020.
Regards,
Kris
