Using reference planes, parameters, and constraints
- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to begin laying out the framework that we need to drive the geometry in our family. And that is done with a series of reference planes that are driven by dimensions that are either constrained or parameterized. So we're going to look at all of that here in this video. Now I'm working in this file that has four tiled views. If you're not sure how I got here, then I recommend you go back and watch the earlier video where I discussed how to save files this way and how to reopen them. So what I want to do is jump right in and start talking about reference planes, and I'm going to work in the ref level floor plan view. So just click anywhere in this view, and then let's start with these two reference planes right here and here. If you're not able to highlight or select them, then it's very important that you use this little dropdown here underneath the pointer tool and make sure that…
