Preventing Elements from Moving
Use the Pin Position tool to lock a modelling component in place. When you pin a modelling component,
it cannot be moved. If you try to delete a pinned component, Revit Architecture warns you that the
component is pinned. A pushpin control appears near the element to indicate that it is locked.
If you pin a component, it can still move if the component is set to move with nearby elements or if the
level where it is placed moves up or down. See
Moving Lines and Components with Walls on page 305.
Using Pins to Lock Elements in Place
1 Select one or more components in your project.
2 Click Edit menu
➤
Pin Position, or click on the Edit toolbar.
Revit Architecture displays a pushpin control near the component to indicate that it is pinned in place. To
move or delete the component, you must first unlock it by clicking the pushpin control. Click the pushpin
again to lock the component.
Unpinning Elements
The Unpin Position tool unpins a locked element. You can then move the element or delete it without being
prompted. You can select multiple elements for unpinning. If some of the elements you select are not pinned,
the Unpin Position tool has no effect.
To unpin elements:
1 Select one or more elements to unpin.
2 In the drawing area, click the pushpin control, or click Edit menu
➤
Unpin Position.
When you unpin an element, a red slash appears through the pin control to indicate that it is unlocked.
