Work Plane-based and Face-based Component Placement Options

Following are the options for placing work plane-based and face-based components:
Place on Face –
Move the cursor to the desired location on a face, and click to place the component. You can only place
components on faces with this option.
Place on Work Plane –
To use this option, an active work plane must be defined in the view. You can place the component
anywhere on the work plane.
Place on Vertical Face (only available for some components) –
In a plan view, move your cursor to the desired location on a vertical face, and click to place the
component. You can only place components on vertical faces with this option.

Rehosting

You can move a hosted component or element from the current host to another host using the Rehost or
Pick Host commands, depending on the context.

Rehosting Doors and Windows

1 Select a door or window.
2 On the Options Bar, click Rehost.
3 Move the door or window to an appropriate host, and click to place it.
Rehosting Work Plane-based and Face-based Elements and
Components
When you rehost work plane-based or face-based elements and components, you can place them on any
host. For these elements, you have the placement options Place on Face, Place on Work Plane, and Place on
Vertical. Work plane-based elements include lines, beams, and family geometry. You can also rehost work
plane-based components (for example, masses).
Use the following procedure.
NOTE When you select the Moves With Nearby Elements option, the component moves with the
element. For example, if you place a bed next to a wall and then move the wall, the bed moves with
the wall. Revit Architecture determines which element the component is locked to; you do not have
explicit control. You can move the component independently of the element. See
Components with Walls on page 305.
