parameter label not shown in family

[Berrys_Cooling_Drafter]

when I open the door family the Width parameter label is not shown in Ref. Level view how do I make this visible

[barthbradley]

Type "VV" and turn on Dimensions and References under Anno tab

[Berrys_Cooling_Drafter]

did that its still not showing

[barthbradley]

Is the Width Dimension in another View, or not in Family.  Maybe it was deleted. Is so, just create another Dimension and Label it with the Width Parameter.  No biggie.  

[Berrys_Cooling_Drafter]

yes it is in another view see attached

[barthbradley]

Yeah, I like 'em in Elevation as well. What's the issue?  

[Berrys_Cooling_Drafter]

why is it not showing up in Ref. level

[barthbradley]

Because it's in Elevation. Don't like it there? Move it then. Again, it's no biggie.  Whatever floats your boat.

Because the door family template has it that way. You can just delete the dimension label from the elevation view and place it again in the plan view.

My boat would like to float  having it on Ref. level as well as on elevation

can I do that?

[barthbradley]

You can place the dimension but you can't label it.  

If you really what it Labeled, create another Parameter for Width (e.g. "Width 2") and make it a Reporting Parameter.

No.  Unless you add lines/ ref lines/ ref planes at the same location of the existing ref planes and dimension them.  Which is highly not recommended.

how do I place a label in plan view

Place a dimension, select it and Label it.
