Hello everyone, I would like to ask how it’s possible to relocate/move the family point location to be in the center of the desk for example as shown below

this is nothing to do with Dynamo- but the way the family is created.
You need to edit the family

This is the intersection of all three Origin planes in the family. While it’s most likely possible with Dynamo, it would be way easier to do manually in the family editor.

Can you explain why you need a Dynamo solution? Do you have many different families that need to be modified?

Reference planes have a parameter that sets whether they determine the family origin or not. You’ll just have to find the reference planes at the center or your family (or create them if they don’t exist) and set the parameter.
