Generate Code in Visual Studio 2015 UML Class diagram is not working

I made a basic UML Class diagram of a class with two fields, a method, and a subclass with one field but when I hit generate code nothing happens. The console says it worked with no errors but when I look at the log it says "(Class): no file generated because the 'AppliesToElement' method of the template 'ClassTemplate.t4' evaluated to false." on both of my classes. What am I missing?

I fixed this by using the UML Model Explorer.

I went to the UML Model Explorer, then right-clickd the project, then clicked generate code which popped up this message:
enter image description here
which told me the component cache was out of date so I restarted Visual Studio. After that I tried to generate the code again through the UML Model Explorer and it Worked.

Unfortunately, the ability to generate UML class and sequence diagrams from code, and turn UML into code, was removed in VS2015. This is because of the new Roslyn compiler - Microsoft would have needed to rewrite these features for the new compiler but stated they didn't want to spread their resources too thinly.
