I'm really struggling with a work plane issue.

I'm creating metal trusses from scratch using plate extrusions. When creating the extrusion, I used workplanes to locate the piece (either grid line or named refrence plane) and then disassociated the piece. However, when I try to move it, it will only go in one direction like it does when it is associate to a work plane. When I check, there is no association.

When I go all the way into the extrusion I can move those lines where I need to but that will be a complete pain in the neck to do for each piece in the truss. Any thoughts?

Are you talking about in the family, in the project or in an in-place family?   Have you tried checking the disjoin box on the options line?   NOTE:   This will delete any associated dimensions or tags.

Each element of the truss is an in placed modeled extrusion. Does that help you?

Did you try what I suggested?

In-place models should really be used for one of a kind elements.

BTW - Revit is always associating objects, sketch lines, annotative lines with other elements in you projects.

As it turns out, I had the "constrain" copy checked. I was thinking I wanted to make sure they were all in a nice straight line but it only wanted to constrain along the original associated path.
