drop-down.

of these options.
NOTE After you place a component, you can select it and then select the Moves With Nearby Elements
option. 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 376.
