Use the Pin tool to lock a modeling element in place. When you pin a modeling element, it cannot be moved.
If you try to delete a pinned element,
Revit LT warns you that the element is pinned.
If you pin a component, it can still move if it is set to move with nearby elements or if the level where it is placed moves up or down. See
Move Lines and Components with Walls.
To pin and element, do one of the following:
- Select the elements to be pinned, and then click Modify | <Element> tabModify panel (Pin).
- Click Modify tabModify panel (Pin), select the elements to be pinned, and then press
Enter.
Revit LT displays a pushpin control near the element to indicate that it is pinned in place. To move or delete the element, you must first unlock it by clicking the pushpin control. Click the pushpin again to lock the element.
Note: When multiple pinned elements are selected select pushpins may not be displayed. To display pushpins in the model, Click Modify|Multi-Select tab
Selection panel
(Activate Controls). Click again to hide the pushpins in the model.
