Aligning Surface Patterns

[FrenchQuarters]

I am not able to align/move/rotate the surface pattern for any model component the way it is possible for walls, floors, etc. I am specifically dealing with Architectual Column family where I need to adjust the suface pattern to mach the walls, and a few Generic Model families that represent brick moldings. I have confirmed the pattern being used in all these cases is a Model pattern, not a Drafting pattern.

In all of the above cases, when I Tab-select the surface pattern and align/move/rotate, instead of just the patterning moving, the entire component moves.

What am I missing here? Has anybody else ran into similar issue?

Thanks.
