    Default Wall-Based Toilet Insertion Point

    I am using the OOTB 2D Wall-Mounted toilet (with nested families for clear floor space and grab bars). I have a user who wants to have an insertion point that will snap to the face of a wall when inserting the toilet - as opposed to inserting it then aligning it. As far as I've been able to tell, it will automatically snap to the centerline of the perpendicular wall, not the face and there's no way to change it. Is this correct?

    I don't know which one you're referring to, I don't have it. You're saying it doesn't snap to the face of the wall?

    Sorry, had to reread what you said.

    Can you post the family?

    Let me clarify:

    I am using the OOTB 2D Wall-Mounted toilet (that I have modified to include nested families for clear floor space and grab bars).

    As far as I can tell, the nested families have nothing to do with the insertion.

    The insertion point is based on the ref. planes defined as origins. So yes, but he'll then still have to deal with right and left flipping. In my opinion it isn't worth it. Better to do an align/lock after intersection to apply a constraint to the adjacent wall. Just placing it doesn't apply a constraint.
