Assembly doesn't find any part

Hi,
I'm new in Onshape (free plan), and I'm trying to make an assembly.
I made (importing some step file) 4 parts and, now, I want assemble them together.
When I create my part n.5 (named assy, with a big fantasy effort) I create the tab Assembly 1 and I tried to open tha icon "Insert parts and assemblies", the part list is empty.
Witch kind of mistake I'm doing? Do I missing something important?
Many thanks
Piero
How, I'm missing important news: all my parts are non manifold parts (i.e. open solids)

create some new parts in the part studio and try to insert in assembly...
It is a pure solid modeler, and it doesn't manage Non Manifold Topology.
There is any 'make solid' command?
Many thanks
Piero
But, at least for this job (the one I'm doing now), the question is that I need to work with Open Solids (I mean: Non Manifold object with NO thickness, like in NX or Think3)
Again many thanks
Piero
Now, I have two solid parts :
- uno (a plate) and
- due (a bolt).
When I open assy (it should become my assembly) I don't find any part in catalog.All parts are shared with support.
Please, can you explain what I was doing wrong?
Thanks
Piero
Just to confirm, you have part studio tabs with parts and assembly tab all in same document?
Cross document references are not here yet so all your parts and assemblies need to be in same document. You can create more tabs in left bottom + -sign menu.
My error was to interpret Workspaces like simple parts; Workspaces, instead, are like entire projects, made of parts, sub-assembly and assembly.
Sorry for the mistake and Thanks to everybody.
Ciao, Piero
Wan't to remind you at this point that part studio can handle multiple parts (like assembly with fixed constraints). You only need to create assembly for motion.
