Using reference lines to create parametric formwork

“

- [Narrator] In this video I'm going to create the first piece that we need for our brick arch family and that is the arch itself. We're going to create the overall framework for the arch and make it fully flexible and we're going to do that with reference lines. Now reference lines are going to serve a very similar function in the adaptive family editor environment that reference planes do in the traditional family editor environment, but conceptually it's the same. We're going to create this form work that we apply dimensions and constraints to. Then we'll flex those dimensions and constraints and in turn that will actually flex the geometry within our family. So this video we're going to focus just on that form work and make sure that's working and flexing properly and then in future videos we'll actually apply the geometry to it. I'm in my starter file that I created in the previous video. You're welcome to continue in…
