To Anchor an Object to a Wall

Use this procedure to move objects to a different wall by anchoring the objects.

An anchored object is constrained by the wall. You can move the object along the wall, but the object does not move from the wall unless you detach the object. Objects anchored to walls follow connected wall segments.

The center of the bottom face of the object is anchored to the insertion point on the bottom face of the wall, which is midway in the wall width.

Note: By default, doors, openings, windows, and window assemblies are anchored to the walls these objects are added to.
  1. Select the object to attach to the wall, and do one of the following:
