The Selection tool moves symbols or plug-in objects within walls. Several symbols can be selected and moved at once. Symbols within walls and symbols outside of walls cannot be selected at the same time.
Symbols within the same wall can be nudged a short distance with a keyboard shortcut defined in the Edit pane of the Vectorworks preferences (see Vectorworks preferences: Edit pane).
To move one or more symbols within a wall:
While in Top/Plan view, click the Selection tool from the Basic palette.
Toggle Wall Insertion mode on or off, depending on the desired result.
