    Default Detail components, why won't some lines snap?

    In some of my detail components, why is it that certain lines will not allow me to snap to them, or dimension to them? One example is the CMU section detail component. You can snap to or dimension to the outer edges of the detail component, but the lines defining the outer wall thickness (the lines toward the inside open space) won't allow anything to go to them.

    Have you tried using the "tab" key to tab to the itmes you want to snap to?

    Yes, nothing would go to them. I figured it out though, it's because the lines were locked to reference planes set to "not a reference"
