Building arrays and applying rules
- [Instructor] So we're off to a good start on our complex canopy design and we've got all the components loaded into this wall-based specialty equipment family but now what I need to do is start repeating those components and assembling them together in a logical way. So I'm going to actually use the array command for this because what I really want is just several repeated copies of each item, the bracket and the awning, and then I want to be able to control those quantities in a flexible parametric way. The array command will allow me to do that. I'm going to start with the bracket. I'll just simply select it and then go to the Array button here or type AR, the keyboard shortcut for array. Now, everything that we want to talk about is on the options bar here and if you've used the array command before, then it's exactly the same in the family editors, it is in the project environment but the most important setting…
