I have made a mansonry pattern and applied to my wall, the problems is that the defaut insert ponint is on 0.000,but actually my first stone should start at -0.300, I know I can use align tools to align my patterns, but as my building wall is not a flat plane, it has many recessive wall, so if I need to align my patterns, I have move all the faces of the wall,not only the front wall but also the both sides of the wall have to be aligned seperately, which drive me mad. see my pictures.

In a 3D view select the lines with the TAB key, then go to an elevation view and use the "MOVE" tool

thank you for your help, but the problem things is that my building is extremely complicated, my mansory pattern are not even lines, it has different distance, which means I have to move perticular lines to perticular place, so as all the pattern line can be coordinate with the frames of window, if I have to select the pattern lines in 3D modle, it makes minor different from using the align tools. see my picture r5, not the level one but the hilighted wall on level three should be in the same pattern, and as my walls are corrugate wall every columned wall has 3 faces , so I have to pick up ervry columned wall and its side wall, it is really time consuming. So I need a one set to adjust all the lines of pattern of my walls.

If you had built this as one continuous wall and had your vertical strip window system cut this wall. all of the alignments would be done with on process.
This looks like a heavier rustication than a masonry pattern. If that is the case, the wall could be setup with reveals at the proper spacing and the paterial would have the field color.

you are right, actually I had built this as one continuous wall and had my vertical strip window system cut this wall. I just print screen patial of the plan, the vertical strip window cut the wall, when it cut it ,the wall gets so many faces. I have to align the pattern lines one by one, they are separete faces.

If the wall patterns in the return areas are created from the wall (set to return when cut) then the pattern will self align. Did you add these in the window family/

I don't think it is good way to apply pattern in the window family. I use void solid in the window family, so that the wall can be cut when the window family inserted in.
I just think there must be some paremeter that can set the basic point of the wall patterns, because the default point is 0,0,0, if I change the basic insert point, all the problems can be resolved very quickly.
