Cannot add new Scaffold Item in MVC project VS2015

Question

I have a project which has 2 parts the solution, DAL and Website I am trying to generate a controller from a model in the DAL, but the DAL models are not showing up in the Model Class entry field in the create scaffold item dialog

Things Ive tried: rebuilt the entire solution deleted the folder and restored from repo opened the solution in an older version of VS

nothing seems to work. The view models show up fine in the dialog, but the domain models from teh external DAL are not showing at all

Answer 1

It seem that you don't have the reference in your MVC project to your DAL project, have you tried this already ?
