Trouble with feature image in portfolio.

Everything is working fine accept: after adding the add_theme_support('post-thumbnails'); to the functions.php file I still don't get the featured image option. also I don't get the attributes box. Is this possibly because I am using a local installation of WordPress or is there some other setting I should check for?

Found answer to be ticking the box in CPT UI for Featured Image under settings.

Yep, go to CPT UI, select "portfolio" or what ever your custom post type is called, then open the "sections" dropdown and within that is a section called "support" - just check the box next to featured image.
