Hi!
I have a problem with face-based families which moves after editing geometry of host.
Below is example: When componenets is placed on face of host and then we will change shape of host - then family will be moved. Could we avoid this move. Are we able to place component in point - not referring to the edge?

Yes, it's Face based family:
I am attaching family which also is working as I described earlier.
So even if I could control its moves, I will not be able to control it only by editing host? I've got models with a lot hosted elements which are changed after editing hosts.
See attached GIF...I simply placed a a generic model extrusion with a parametric sweep/void to round top or bottom and/or both top and bottom. Then I hosted the bracket family you posted on each of the 4 sides/faces of the GM. I cannot seem to replicate what is in the images you have posted.

Hi!
Here is a gif of how it looks in my case.
- The move is horizontal - so I can't control them by levels.
- This problem occurs when I want to add round corners to posts. In models, I've got too many families hosted to post so I cannot change them all. I am looking for a solution how to control it without editing families hosted to faces.
The change is editing profiles that define posts.
Refer to previous reply bullet 2...that is normal behavior. The bracket is not constrained to anything on that face/workplane where you are hosting it. If you expect it to move with the form whenever you change it, then you need to constrain the bracket to something
You need to note that FACE does not mean the shape itself. It is the surface or plane represented by the face of the object. Its extents of the plane/surface are not bound by the shape of the object.
