      Hmmm... So after selecting the stair, it highlights but does not display any HUD dimensions or even the stair numbers? Odd... If you place two walls, do you get HUD dimensions between them?

      Yes... for whatever reason the issue seemed to be specific to the 8.11.5 release - the Compound Cell displays correctly in both XM and 8.11.7. To verify whether the cause is the same in your case, perhaps you can install the 8.11.7 beta to test? It does…
