Introducing complex families
- [Instructor] In this chapter, we're going to assemble some of the pieces that we've been working on throughout the course into a more complex family assembly. So, the strategy we're taking is to just simply say, we've got this complex family, we're going to break it up into parts and pieces, and then we're going to assemble those parts and pieces in an intelligent way. We're going to go through the process of building one of the components, so the first two videos in the chapter will be that exercise where it'll actually build the awning that you see between the brackets here in the 3-D view. If you are not interested in building that awning, it is provided in the later videos, so you're certainly welcome to skip those first two if you like, and if you're anxious to just jump right in and build the assembled component, then you can start in the third exercise. And then we're going to go through the process of setting up…
