Use this procedure to attach objects with a reference anchor. With reference anchors, you can attach building systems objects to other building systems objects by reference, or association. The movement of an object anchored with a reference anchor maintains the association between the objects. When you change the position of the anchored object, the reference object is moved along with it. A point of connection is always maintained. Reference anchors are best suited for attaching objects to non-linear objects (like flex duct or wire) that may change in layout frequently.
