Cutting holes and using void geometry

“

- [Instructor] You can create the geometry that's required for your family from both solids and voids. So, solids build up material, where voids carve away. So, in this example, we're going to create a void form that will carve out the locations of the pockets in our pool table. So, it will be a fairly simple example. So, I'm going to work in the Floor Plan view, and the first thing I want to do is use the Temporary Hide/Isolate and hide both pieces of existing geometry. I mentioned in the previous video how important it is that you build your geometry relative to the reference planes and not other geometry. It just keeps the hierarchy very clear and allows things to behave more reliably. So, I'm going to zoom in nice and close on my reference planes here, go to Create, click Void Forms, and choose Void Extrusion. Now, the shape of a pocket is a little bit more complicated than what I'm going to draw, but I'm just going to use simple circles to represent it in this case. I'll click…
