# Build in Place

**Build in Place** - by default, the 'Create Assemblies' command will add all hosted details to the Assembly. But if you add the 'Build in Place' parameter to hosted element families, and turn it ON, they will not be added to the Assembly. It's useful when you have a few nested elements and some of them should be installed on site, so you don't want to have them in the Assembly.

Parameter should be created like this:

It's a 'Yes/No' parameter, and its name should be exactly 'Build in Place', so the software can recognize it.

Here's a family with some nested families inside, some of which have the 'Build in Place' parameter.

So, in the model space, all hardware is in place:

But in the Assembly, loose plates are excluded:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/common-for-several-products/smart-assemblies/special-parameters/build-in-place.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
