Pin Position shold lock pinned objects to prevent flexing when adjoining objects change

[revit.wishlist1942]

Summary: Make Pin Position completely lock down pinned objects to prevent them flexing when adjoining objects change. Warn users copying pinned objects.

Description: Make Pin Position completely lock down pinned objects to prevent them flexing when adjoining objects change. Warn users copying pinned objects.

How Used: Once an object is pinned I don't want it to change at all without unpinning it.

Revit tries its best to think how edges of walls / floors etc interact and seldom gets it right when considering angular or curved forms.

Editing a floor (say) should not allow Revit to have a go at moving / extending adjacent un-linked pinned walls / floors. Presently it does.

This should also apply to existing walls that try to "cleanup" with walls in New Construction

[Mike Sealander]

In fact, New walls should never be able to move an Existing wall. It just doesn't make sense that changing an object in a future phase influences the position of an object in a previous phase.

I totally agree! This is a HUGE hurdle toward 4D design. Not that this is hard to implement but rather that it is quite impossible to predict HOW, if a modification in a future phase does affect older phases, the software whould handle the modification.
