•Dimmed types are not available because either:
•that part type already exists (only subsummary parts can exist more than once on a layout)
•the part you're changing is not in the right place on the layout (for example, a title header must be at the top of the layout)
•You can delete all but the last layout part from a layout and the objects it holds.
