    try opening the floor plan - ref. level for the nurse call family. I know it won't allow you to place the annotation in a 3d view. that error message sounds more like a mis-match in categories tho, did you start the annotation family from a generic annotation?

    I'm not too sure on this one, sorry.

    Yes I did both of those things and no change. Floor plan, ceiling plan and I actually started a new annotation based on a generic anno template. No change.

    Make sure the family catagory of the nurse call 3d family is set to nurse call device. (The yellow folder on the ribbon in family editor.
