Aligning Elements - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

If you copy a line or component that is set to move with nearby elements, the copy also moves with the
element.
If you move the line or component toward another element, it then moves with that new element. For
example, suppose that a straight line moves with a wall. When you move the line closer to another
straight wall with which it is parallel, the line now moves with the new wall. However, if you place a
wall closer to the line or component, it does not move with that new wall. It retains its movement with
the first wall.
Using the Moves with Nearby Elements option

Aligning Elements

Use the Align tool to align one or more elements with a selected element. This tool is generally used to align
walls, beams, and lines, but it can be used with other types of elements as well. The elements to align can
be of the same type, or they can be from different families. You can align elements in a plan view or elevation
view only.
For example, you can use the Align tool to do the following:
Align the ends of walls or beams with a selected line, wall, or beam. (This action extends the lengths of
the aligned walls or beams.)
Align the centers of walls or beams with a selected line, wall, or beam. (This action moves the aligned
walls or beams.)
Join selected endpoints (of walls, for example) with a selected line.
