Grid Line to Wall Constraints - Error with Adjustment

In previous versions of Revit, I have been able to align and lock the core face of walls to gridlines and then use gridline dimensions to adjust wall locations. 

 

I recently downloaded Revit 2024 and this workflow appears to not be working. When I lock walls to gridlines how I have always done, I get an error if I try to adjust the gridline location. Error: Constraints not satisfied. 

 

The walls are not locked to any other geometries. Anyone else having this issue?

Update: I managed to get some of them to work??

I may have determined that this is an issue with model geometries leftover from Revit 2023 file after update...

Check with "Reveal constraints", maybe they're already constrained to something else?

I have actually gone back and rebuilt the model, since it is a fairly simple build, and I'm running into this issue again. I have two walls aligned and locked to a gridline. When I try to move the gridline location, I get the constraints error for one of the walls. The wall is not locked to anything else. The wall is not pinned.

It may be related to the Model-In-Place Component that I now use in my workflow as a void form to cut the Toposolid for building excavation. I had locked the sketch lines of my void extrusion to my gridlines. After removing the constraints on the extrusion sketch, my walls are now moving with my gridlines without error. 

 

I'm not sure why it would behave this way since the wall and the Model-In-Place extrusion are both aligned and locked to the gridline individually and not to each other.

It may be just a hierarchical response to the constraint issue that exists beneath the wall, assuming the sketch's line is under that wall. In the view the model in place element and its sketch isn't visible (I assume) so Revit is highlighting an element that is also constrained to the grid? Just a guess...

Good thought. The ref plane of the void component is below the wall in question. However, the error dialogue box calls out the error in reference to the wall instance and says nothing about the Model-In-Place Component.

Expand the warning and see what it says.

Here is the error dialogue box. I have confirmed that this only happens when I lock the Model-In-Place component to the same gridline as the Exterior wall and Foundation Walls.

Can you highlight that dimension?
