Lock to intersection

[Mike Sealander]

Is there a way to lock a wall (end point, the little blue dot) to a grid intersection?

have you tried the align tool? Not sure if it will work, just thinking out loud.

I just tried it, it works. Just use align, select the grid line, then the edge of the wall, lock it. Do it on the perpendicular line the same way.

Technically, you aren't locking to the intersection with the grip, you are aligning both edges to 2 grid lines, if that makes sense.

You are correct in that walls orthogonal and perpendicular to grid lines can be aligned and then locked to those grid lines. I was actually thinking about a diagonal line locking to orthogonal grid intersections.

Good question. I just spen 10 minutes trying everything I could, and it doesn't work. lol

I'm new to revit though, so I still have a lot to learn. But I'm thinking the answer is no.

Technically, you can. The same as with lines.

Using the align tool first select one grid line than pointing to the end of the wall in question and pressing TAB as many times as required, finally the blue dot is highlighted, which we can select. Close padlock and repeat for the second grid line. Then the wall follows whatever grid is moved.

The problem starts when you attach the other end to some different grid lines. Then your wall doesn't want to follow any of the grid lines' movements without braking the constrains. (By the way the lines behave the same way when it comes to grid lines)

Thanks, Jerry. I was hoping to be able to find a reference line available outside a family, which I believe would lock on both ends to grid intersections, if it only existed.
