Add layers menu is grayed out in Cross Section

Hi,

I am trying to add a conductor layer in the stackup, but the Add Layers option in the Cross Section is grayed out.

This issue occurs only in a specific design.

Any suggestions on what might be causing this or how to enable it?

    Look at the Lock tab in the cross section GUI (at the bottom) and uncheck the Add Layers box.
