I saved as from another family of mine and made this one, The original one places fine anywhere you want it. but this one seems locked to an imaginary line in the project. I was wondering if anyone else would mind trying to place it in their project and see if the same issue is there, and even better if someone can figure out what to fix in the family so it doesn't act this way.

Delete the two reference planes shown... try recreating them to fix the error. It seems that these reference planes are causing the family to lock to the project origin. Not sure why.

Got it. I deleted the dimensions (3) that referenced the intersections of reference planes... and got it to work. I ended up referencing everything related to the angle to the reference line, and made new reference lines on the workplance of the reference line to make it all work nicely. I hate having to read Revit's mind sometimes... Thanks for the help.
