Chapter 21

Making Projects Parametric

This chapter covers using massing and family techniques learned earlier in this book to extend the use of parameters into your projects and leverage those parameters for some different types of analysis. Using massing like this requires an upfront investment in the massing model but pays large dividends downstream in design and documentation.

This chapter will focus on concepts to make a fully parametric mass using the form editor and how to use that for analysis and change management.

In this chapter, you'll learn to:

• Use generic model outline families
• Understand advanced conceptual massing
• Find additional resources

Figure 21.1 should give you an idea of where we're headed in this chapter. Massing isn't ...
