Most likely its workplane based. You'd need to edit the family and move it within hte in-place family itself. However, I'd move it to an external family and then load it in properly. Far more flexible if you need to move it about. Hope you aren't copying around either...

Try moving vertically with 'Disjoin' selected in the 'options bar'.

Something to add to the suggestions above: If you can’t move it vertically, it is locked to a “Plan” Workplane.Click on the “in place family” Then <Edit> it – in the view that you created it in. Then Click again on the particular object that is not moving vertically and click the “square” symbol should shows up to “Dissociate Work Plane”. It will now move Vertical. There are advantages and disadvantages to using an “In Place Family” or an “External Family”If it’s a one-off thing that has to be made to fit precisely to other objects, I use an ‘In place family’, you can add many extrusions with different materials, on different workplanes .‘In place Families’ can be copied & rotated quite OK as log as all workplaces are dissociated. If it’s something that I wish to reuse in different projects or moved, edited or copied around a lot, an external Family is better.
