Thank you for the help. Manual adjustments seem the best alternative for what I need -- I just wanted to confirm there wasn't a simple trick in SU that I didn't understand.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. There isn't some technique where I can move and edge and have geometries glued to that edge move?

This is probably a stupid newbie question about the behavior of entities glued together. For example, I want to place a beam (component) on top of two posts (components). If I edit the post components to change their height from 9' to 12 ', I want the beams to remain connected to the top of the posts. By extension, if I have rafters/sheathing/shingles on top of the beams I want the entire roof to lift 3' when I edit the post component. I can't seem to get this basic glueing to work. What am I missing?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
