Hello,
In a beam family (structural framing category) I placed a generic annotation (a black dot) to show the steel reinforcement direction. See screenshot taken from the family, it's not a whale.

In a viewplan looking up, the 2 beams look like this :

However, our office usually colors the beams in grey with transparency thus leads to the dots not to be seen anymore.

The idea would be to be able to keep annotation in foreground, even on viewplan looking up and not only looking down.
