Stair and Ramp Labels/text

I have floor plans at 1/8" scale and larger where I would like to see the 'UP' and 'DN' labels for the stairs and ramps.  However, I also have much smaller scale plans at 1:100 where I definitely do NOT want to see these labels.  (See my example image below.  The size of the text in these plans is bigger than the stair and ramp itself).  The problem I've fun into is the visibility of this text is a Type parameter of the stair, so it's either on or it's off globally.  

 

Is there a clever way to have both of my conditions covered?  I thought about building in some sort of filter in the 1:100 plans, but so far I haven't been able to isolate jus the label of the stairs and ramps.

 

Help!  Thanks!

I think I miss something here....the text even if it is a system Family part it is not a Type Parameter but an instance...and can be easy changed...

The magic plus sign next to Stair Paths!!!

 

That's what I was missing!  I had Stair Paths tuned off, but when that wasn't working I thought the Stair Tags needed to be turned off in the VG for stairs.  I didn't notice I had to then go turn off the subcategories of Stair Paths in addition to turning off the main category for Stair Paths.   If I turn off the main category, you would think it would take the subcategories with it.  Evidently not.  

 

Thank you!
