Why cant I add tread number annotation to stairs in plan view?

[parkside125]

Hi guys,

I have stairs in plan view and I'm trying to add the tread numbers to it. When I hover above the stairs, the line to annotate doesn't appear. I think this may have something to do with the level the stairs are on because I can annotate the plans below but not this level.

Is the category turned on?

Set your View Depth Clipping to No Clip

Thanks for replying. Yes it is. I have a template set for all the floorplans. The levels below work, it just seems to be this level that doesnt

Thank you for your reply. It's set to no clip but still doesn't work

My guess is that it's related to View Range settings.  Keep in mind that the Stair Tread representation Plan View is Symbolic.    

Post the file.   We'll figure it out.

It turns out that I had to unlock the top stair to annotate the tread number. Not sure why but it now works

Because they are multi-story stairs?

Yep!

How do you unlock the top stair?
