unable to edit previously designed sketches using dimension tool or adding lines

Hi, for some reason I cant interact with some of the sketches I've designed in Fusion 360 and I don't know why? For my base sketch I have no issue contributing to the design and altering it. However, for the face and Entrance and face the sketch tool acts like I'm creating a whole new sketch over the top of it. What have I done and how can I fix it?

P.S. that upload bar seems to be broken and is trying to download my small outworld version 3, does that have anything to do with it? 

Thank you so much in advance. 

 

Regards,

 

Aengus

It would be very helpful if you could attach your Fusion 360 file to your question so others can troubleshoot it.

@aengusdh , the problem with those sketches is that the geometry is not on the sketch plane.  You can only dimension/constrain, etc geometry which is on the sketch plane.  Use the "Move to Sketch Plane" command to correct this.  If you want the sketch to be on a different plane, create it on an offset workplane, to make sure you have 2D geometry.
