Hello, dear

insertion point of a family is the intersection point of base reference planes in your family.

Just open your family and move your family geometry from the intersection towards the desired place.

Hi From the properties of the reference planes in the Revit Family!

In a Revit Family when you click on a reference plane and go to its properties you will see a property called ‘Defines Origin’ – the point at which two origin defining reference planes intersect becomes the insertion point of the Revit Family.

I have a detail family with original reference planes (top and center) set, but in the project, the insertion point is not right. Any suggestions?

Is the symbol nested in the family that you are using?
