What is a consequence of using the padlock feature while aligning two walls?

Using the padlock feature while aligning two walls ensures that they maintain their relative positions to each other. When one wall is locked, any adjustments made to one of the walls will affect the locked wall, restricting separate movement. This feature is particularly useful when you want to preserve specific relationships between components in your Revit model without unintentionally modifying their positions.

By locking the alignment, you create a dependency that effectively prevents individual adjustments to the locked wall. If one wall were to be moved, the locked wall would follow, maintaining its defined alignment. This behavior is essential for creating accurate and consistent designs, as it allows designers to enforce certain relationships between walls while still allowing for the flexibility to move them as a group.

In the context of the other options, they do not accurately portray the functionality of the padlock feature within Revit. The walls do not become completely rigid—there's still flexibility in terms of manipulating them as a connected unit. Additionally, it's not correct to say that only one wall can be adjusted, as adjustments can still be made to both walls, but they will be governed by the lock relationship. Finally, the alignment being visually disrupted does not reflect the purpose of the padlock, which is designed to maintain visual and functional relationships
