Using tangency locks

- [Instructor] In this video, I want to talk about the new tangency lock feature. This feature is new in the latest release of Revit, and allows you to toggle on a constraint that will automatically keep curves tangent to surrounding geometry. Now, this is significant because I've spent a lot of time building techniques to do that very thing without the tangency lock feature. For example, I have a course here in the library called Revit: Family Curves and Formulas that's devoted entirely to techniques of controlling curvature parametrically within your family content. Now just to be clear, drawing curves is not difficult. You can just use the arc tool or the circle tool, and you can draw these curves very easily to create geometry in Revit. What can be challenging, what does take a little bit more effort, is when you want those curves to flex parametrically and maintain the curvature that you had in mind. There you have to plan it out very carefully, and without the tangency lock…
