When an element is no longer associated with a work plane, the element is free to move irrespective of a work plane.
On the Properties palette, the dissociated element's Work Plane parameter value is <not associated>.
Examples of work plane-based elements include solid geometry in the Family Editor and extruded roofs in a project.
To dissociate an element from a work plane
- Select a work plane-based element in a view.
- Do one of the following:
- Click
(Dissociate Work Plane), which displays in the drawing area near the selected element.
- Use the Edit Work Plane tool:
- Click Modify | <Element> tab
Work Plane panel
(Edit Work Plane).
- In the Work Plane dialog, click Dissociate.
If the Dissociate button displays as gray, the element is not currently associated with a work plane, or it is not a work plane-based element. (For example, it may be a face-based element.)
- Click Modify | <Element> tab
- Click
To reassociate an element with a work plane, use the Edit Work Plane tool to specify a new work plane.
