The image below is a callout view from a floor plan. The floor plan doesn’t seem right.
The stair is cut and we can’t add the stair path symbol. As you can see in the image below, the tool is disabled.
Why the Callout Doesn’t show the Stair Correctly?
The reason why it happens is that the user created the callout using the detail view. A detail view has different properties than a Floor Plan. It doesn’t have view range properties, for example.
So it is important to use the correct callout type, especially for the floor plan.
