I am tryng to make a routine to move a element to a determinade point( that i click ), but its not working

ERRO MENSAGE: Element.MoveByVector operation failed. Attemp to modify the model outside of the transaaction

The image isnât legible - follow the instructions here: How to export a graph image [Correctly]
Beyond that, we need to know what the warning message says - so grab an export of that too.
I updated the image, friend!
I dont think you need the start and end transaction nodes⊠but also
The error mensage:
â: Element.MoveByVector operation failed. Attemp to modify the model outside of the transaactionâ
Even if I donât put the transaction node, appears the same error mensage
Hi @biaa.dandes and welcome to the forum 
try as here and see if it could work

Wow, this really works, thanks very much! If itâs not asking too much, how can i solate to move only in x direction? I try to put vector.bycoordinates but the arguments is not matching :\
You could scale the vector asymmetrically about the X, Y, and Z axis (0 for the Y and Z, 1 for the X), or generate a new vector using a Vector.ByCoordinates where the X value is the X component of the vector you currently have (Vector.X node) and the Y and Z components are 0.
I try, but this nodes cant work in this case, appers the mensage There is no version of Vector ByCoordinates that accepts the argument types (Autodesk DesignScript Geometry Vector, int, int)., do you know some node that i can change?
Put a Vector.X in between the Vector.ByTwoPoints and the Vector.ByCoordinates.
The Vector.X extracts the X value from the initial Vector, so youâll be feeding a double or integer (depending on the X value) which works for the ByCoordinates node.

The routine actually works, but the elements are not align to the pick point, this works exactly like the button move.
Sorry, i forgot to mention that i am trying to do this with more than one elements now.
If you think its better, i can make another post to ask how can i do this with more elements, in fact the doubt that i mention in the post its alreay aswer and working.
Sorry for the mess
Hard to understand how you would calculate the vector for two elements - are you trying to shift multiple elements a consistent direction?
No need for a new topic yet - might be a continuation of this one if it is a lacing / list level configuration issue. 
Yes, in this case im tryng to move somes wall socket to a faceâs wall just picking a point
Ah.
Ok so for that we canât have âpick infinite pointsâ and hope the user picks a point for each wall socket, as they wonât. Nor can we does it make sense to move all the sockets to in less point as they would overlap.
My gut says you want to pick a face, and select some mode sockets to pull onto that face. So try âselect model elementsâ and âpick faceâ nodes. Once you have the model elements, get their location, and find the point on the face that is nearest to each socket by using a Geometry.ClosestPointTo node. Then build a vector from the original points to the points on the face. Next use a MoveByVector node to shift each element by itâs vector. Give it a shot and if that doesnât work, or if you are after something else start a new thread with what you have tried and a sketch + sample data set of what you are after.

arhh yeah now i think i understand try as Jacob suggestâŠit could probably be easyer just insert them again. or a setlocationâŠnot sure

Hola amigos, this is interesting, Is not need end the transaction?? will not generate bugs if it rest open? or it close it automaticly? srry about the interruption iâve start to learn more deep into programation!!

In regular code, yes that would be problematic. However Dynamoâs built in transaction manager closes any hanging open transactions⊠well usually it does. Nothing is absolute.

Check your list levels and lacing. The ClosestPointTo node wants to be longest, perhaps others after it.
Also make sure the elements arenât already on the face - the vector you are using has no length so the move likely will fail as you are seeing.
If that doesnât work, post a sample dataset for review.
