Displaying stresses in ETABS

Displaying stresses in ETABS

Displaying stresses in ETABS

(OP)
Hi all, first post here and first time working in ETABS.

I'm working on a simple steel canopy frame. I have the model set up correctly, my question is how do I get ETABS to display the various stresses (in psi or ksi) in different members for different load combinations.

Right now my process is to hit Design > Steel Frame Design > Start Design Check of Structure. It graphically shows that the stress ratio in all members is "blue" . I right click these members and click Details. I get a screen that shows a bunch of forces (P, M22, M33 etc)  but no stresses.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
