Creating parametric circles
- [Instructor] So now that we have our seed family in place, we can begin using it to create some simple parametric curves. So in this video I'll start off by creating what is perhaps the simplest parametric curve of all, and that is a parametric circle. Now to understand how to make a circle parametric, it's important to understand mathematically what a circle is. And quite simply, that is just the collection of all the points that are equidistant from some fixed center point. And we usually refer to that as the radius. So that's our official mathematical definition of a circle. So now, knowing that center and radius are important, those are the two things that we're going to want to control parametrically in order to create a parametrically flexible circle object. So let's switch over to Revit and take a look. Now I have a copy of my seed family open. And it's just called GMC, and you're welcome to use the one that you've been working on. Or you can open mine. Now the first thing…
