I am using detail components of brick and blocks on my current project. What i am trying to do is create a new block detail component (special L shape block). But if i try to edit the existing block then it keeps prompting me that the constraints are not satisfied but i can't seem to see where the constarints are. Any ideas.

In the family editor when amending the detail component family type VG (shortcut for visibility/graphic overrides).

Click on the annotation categories tag and make sure that the 'show annotation' tick boxes is selected.

This will then show the reference planes and dimensions which are constraining the geometry.

The constraints could also be within any sketched elements, and thus not show up until you edit the sketch.
