Lynda Revit: Family Curves and Formulas

Have you ever tried to control the shape of a curved form in the Family Editor? If so, you know that flexing them sometimes throws you a curve ball. In this course, Paul F. Aubin explores several techniques to tame your unruly parametric curves.
This includes examples of circles, arcs, arches, splines, and even complex curves like cyma moldings. The real power comes in with formulas, profile families, and proportions, which allow you to mathematically control your curves. At the end of this course, we can’t guarantee you’ll never have misbehaving curves, but we’ll give you several useful tools to help tame them.
Topics include:

Creating seed families
Creating circles, ellipses, and arcs
Controlling rotation
Working with segmental and elliptical arches
Using profile families
Working with cyma curves
Using fixed proportion and scaling
