Understand solid and void forms and profiles.

The family editor has several solid modeling tools to
00:07
assist you with the creation of your family.
00:10
You have the following tools available, extrusion
00:13
blend, revolve, sweep and sweat blend
00:19
can perform the following types of 3D operations
00:22
to create a wide variety of 3d shapes.
00:25
More complex geometry can be created using adaptive families.
00:29
But the above tools are used very regularly when creating structural components.
00:34
The two most used tools are extrusion and sweep.
00:38
Both of these tools can also utilize profiles.
00:44
Void geometry is used to cut from solid geometry.
00:49
This is useful when creating penetrations or recesses into solid geometry.
00:54
In
01:00
This can be very useful when configuring built-in openings
01:04
particularly in steel families for penetrations
01:07
through beams or perhaps vertical openings
01:09
through foundations for things like pipes or other types of services.
01:15
A profile family is a two dimensional closed shape that
01:19
you can load and use within the family editor.
01:23
For example, the I section shown below could be used for structural framing family,
01:28
a structural column or perhaps a pile
