00:14full of family completely from scratch
00:17in today's tutorial i will show you
00:20exactly how to create a stunning
00:23aesthetically pleasing parameters of a model
00:26by applying the fundamental golden
00:29rules of parametric be sure to check out
00:32the link priority below to get yourself
00:35to speed up , let's not
00:38waste any time and dive straight into the

01:11and just right here and as well on other side now below and as well the upside
01:23okay now we will take the dimensions so we can assign a parameters for it
01:34okay now click on dimensions and select both reference plans and use equality and the same
01:45thing we will apply in the other reference plans okay now we will use dimensions again
02:01the left side now click on the dimension and assign the parameter suppose we use length or height
02:16or width it's our choice so on click on other dimensions and use and other parameters
02:30ok now we will use the golden parameter rules and stretch the both reference plan and now
02:45we will click on family types and change the values and we can see how it works so
03:00the same things apply will fall front elevation just draw a reference plan assign dimensions and just
03:14click on it and assign a parameters like height press ok again golden rules applied
03:28and now we will change the height of the sofa and now we will change the height of the sofa
03:33okay
03:37now we will use again reference plan

05:31file
05:35click on finish edit
05:38and now will use
05:43the four inches extrusion and now finish it
05:49here we can see
05:52it's a size
05:53now we will use
05:56a
05:57mirror plane
05:58we will use mirror
06:00فى ايضا
06:02ورجع اوي الم integro

06:13احضا
06:14الآن
06:16هنا ايضا أنا، فى وعلى أقل
06:25فى فى ان الان
06:33here you can see if we align it it will not work so we will have to delete it and
06:44re
06:49assign a reference plan very carefully so same thing apply
07:00on other side
07:12again
07:17exclusion and just click on
07:22this now is vision and set the reference plan
07:32above from the wrong shapes so we can build the structure in the right way
07:42we'll take the dimensions
07:44just two inches
07:47the same thing we will on other side we will apply on other size
07:54same value we will use two inches and just lock the dimensions
07:59don't forget to lock
08:02it's the part of golden rules
08:28the same value we will use for both and lock it
08:37because it's the part of golden parametri tools
08:42now click on
08:48okay
08:51now we will use the sketch here
08:56and lock all sides of the lines
09:02be careful and don't forget it
09:07just click on
09:09and now we will
09:14take six inches offset
09:21here in the bottom we don't need it
09:24so just trim the lines
09:28as well in the bottom
09:31okay under its element and select
09:36a new line
09:37and lock again
09:43just align and lock again
09:50make sure
09:52every
09:55line should be locked here
10:00okay
10:01okay take the dimensions
10:02the part we have
10:04don't with the
10:06reference plan
10:07we will
10:09use the dimensions
10:10and then lock this
10:13these dimensions
10:16so it work perfect
10:24we can assign a parameter as thickness
10:28later we can use it
10:31we can change it
10:33and the same parameter
10:35will be labeled
10:37from the right side
10:41press on finish edit mode
10:43and now
10:44we can see a shape
10:48here we will use
10:49three feet
10:52value
10:56four inches
10:57from the bottom part
11:00because there are
11:01the
11:04we will use
11:06three feet
11:09and from the bottom
11:11its upper side
11:14as we can see
11:18now if we want to
11:21wrong shape
11:22because
11:22its
11:24very simple
11:25so we will change
11:26our
11:28sketch
11:28now
11:30just use the
11:34fillet command
11:37and put a value
11:40we can change
11:41different values
11:43according to our need
11:45and the values
11:47we will
11:48look suitable
11:50and beautiful
11:52so
11:54change
11:55on your
11:56demand
11:58on your
11:59imagine
12:03so
12:03the same thing
12:04apply
12:05on both sides
12:07and set
12:09a different
12:10values
12:19so if you will use
12:20one six
12:21it's
12:22it looks
12:23much better
12:28one three
12:31one seven
12:33one six
12:35okay
12:36one four
12:40one inches
12:42one feet
12:42and four inches
12:44on other end
12:46as well
12:56okay
12:57now just
12:58lock
13:04the same thing
13:05we will apply
13:05on other end
13:08because
13:09it's the
13:11golden
13:11parameter
13:12rules
13:13and we will have
13:14to carry it
13:16if we will not
13:17use
13:17we will face
13:18different errors
13:20different issues
13:21so
13:25this is a
13:26static
13:27shape
13:28now we will use
13:38the parameters
13:40just
13:42click on
13:45family types
14:16you
14:20just
14:25we assign a value
14:36this is a card of foot distance parameter click ok
14:43now we will open the family types and we will change the value of foot distance
14:53like 1 feet 9 inches and apply that see it's okay it's fine
15:10change the value of any width okay it's fine here
15:29just click on the right side and check
15:37now we will use the white form
15:41white extrusion and click a shape just use the arc and
15:57assign and click a shape that is suitable for it
16:07now just click a shape to close this arc
16:18we can also make it parametric but normally we don't need it
16:28so simply just click on finish edit mode
16:33so first we will use extrusion and and just click finish edit mode
16:41now we will adjust the size of white form
16:49minus 4 feet applied
16:54okay
17:00we can adjust the shape
17:05now we can use a different value
17:18okay the shape of the sofa has quite change
17:28now use again extrusion
17:32and pick a plan top surface of the brown shape
17:39just use the line
17:50now we will trim the shape
17:59okay just click on finish edit mode
18:03check the shape
18:04check the shape
18:05now adjust the size
18:09like 8 inches just apply
18:28now click on create extrusion
18:35and pick lines and pick lines again
18:45the same things we will do here
18:47here and now we will use offset
18:51just one inches for the bottom
18:56okay now we will use
19:00the grid this line we will do this line
19:03and use the trim just click here and same apply here
19:11okay now we will use the line
19:15so we can show the cushion
19:19in different in different in sizes
19:23a little distance so we can show the cushion with little difference
19:35just check the size of the sofa inside
19:42and now we'll make the calculation
19:45and select a size here
20:12this is the perfect size
20:22to create the cushion
20:27and join it
20:29and join it again
20:32now we will use the line
20:35to complete the shape
20:37the same thing here
20:40and one more thing
20:42we need a middle cushion
20:46so we will draw the shape here
20:50with a little distance
20:52and we will adjust the size
20:57after it draw once
21:00okay just use the align command
21:04the same thing applied above shape
21:08and now we will use the dimensions
21:11and set a smaller dimensions
21:17on both sides
21:22like 0.25 here
21:27and the same
21:29we will use the dimensions
21:32find this cushion now
21:35and select it
21:37and change the value 0.25
21:43now
21:46after make sure we will
21:49click on finish edit mode
21:52and see
21:56and change the values
21:58again
22:06minus 1 feet
22:12now adjust the value again
22:15minus 8 inches from the bottom
22:228 inches from the bottom
22:26and 15 inches above the cushioned thickness
22:33okay
22:35this is our model is ready now
22:40just shade it and
22:42can see it's aesthetic
22:45sofa model
22:56now we check it's parametric
22:59again
23:02as we
23:03we will make it parametric
23:05because
23:07we did not use the reference plans
23:10for this sketch
23:11if we change the value
23:14of the sofa
23:14it will not work previously
23:18okay
23:19after complete this process
23:21i will make sure again
23:24and let's see
23:25how it works
23:29just
23:30use the reference plans
23:33for each line
23:35and lock the values
23:37don't forget
23:40any time
23:41remember each time
23:43and apply each time
23:46the golden parametric rule
23:48and lock the dimensions
23:53by using reference plans
23:56and align with
23:59also use
24:01we use scan
24:03also we can use
24:05the dimensions
24:08and then lock the dimensions
24:11this is a way of
24:16control the sketch
24:18and fully parametric model
24:22if we
24:23not apply
24:25the golden parametric rule
24:28definitely
24:29we will see
24:31errors or different situations
24:34because of
24:37missing parameters
24:39or unlock
24:43the sketches
24:45give our
24:46different results
24:48so now
24:49we will
24:51use
24:52an other reference plan
24:53for the
24:54draw
24:57line sketch
24:58so align again
25:01and click on the
25:03sketch line
25:03and lock it
25:07make sure
25:09every sketch line
25:11or every reference
25:14that should be locked
25:16if not
25:17we can
25:20use the dimensions
25:22and then
25:23we will
25:25lock the dimensions
25:28so
25:29we will not face
25:31any kind of trouble
25:36this is
25:38a mentally part
25:40of parametric
25:42family
25:43a parametric model
25:48so
25:49don't forget
25:50any time
25:52apply
25:53each time
25:55and lock
25:56the values
26:01here
26:02here
26:02we will
26:04create a parameter
26:06for back
26:08patient
26:22we just will lock
26:23the values
26:26so
26:28the
26:32reference plan
26:32move
26:33accordingly
26:35so
26:36after double check
26:38all the values
26:40all the reference plans
26:42should lock
26:47so
26:47we will
26:48see a perfect
26:51parametric family
26:59okay
27:00just lock
27:01it
27:01again
27:05the same
27:06thing
27:06apply
27:07with the bottom
27:08reference plans
27:09here
27:10and
27:11just lock
27:12it here
27:15now
27:16it should
27:16work fine
27:19but
27:19and
27:21other part
27:24we
27:24will have to
27:26we'll have to
27:30control
27:30that is
27:31bottom part
27:32because
27:33bottom
27:34is
27:36separate
27:37so
27:38we will adjust
27:39the white part
27:41as well
27:42because
27:43when
27:44we will change
27:45the value
27:46it will move
27:47in a
27:49in a range
27:51so
27:52we can
27:53use different
27:54ranges
27:56like
27:56see
27:57okay
27:58play 10 feet
27:59oh
27:59yes
28:00the bottom
28:01part
28:02we can
28:02see
28:03it doesn't
28:04move
28:04because
28:06because
28:06it does not
28:08become parametric
28:10so
28:10we will use
28:12here
28:19reference plan
28:22and
28:24lock
28:25the sketch
28:26this is
28:27the thing
28:28i repeatedly
28:31tell you
28:32don't forget
28:33to lock
28:34your sketch
28:35by using
28:36reference plans
28:37and
28:38sometimes
28:39you need
28:41to
28:42lock
28:42values
28:45sometimes
28:46you need
28:47to
28:49lock
28:51your
28:51dimensions
28:53so
28:55it
28:55will work
28:59in a
29:00perfect manner
29:02without
29:02any issues
29:03the value
29:04should be
29:05same
29:05so
29:05we will
29:06use
29:06unlock
29:07and
29:09correct
29:09the
29:10dimension
29:11and
29:11lock
29:11it
29:12again
29:16for
29:16the bottom
29:17line
29:19we
29:20don't
29:20need
29:20it
29:22okay
29:23just
29:24try
29:24it
29:25now
29:27click
29:27on
29:28family
29:28types
29:29and
29:29use
29:30different
29:30values
29:32for
29:32now
29:35like
29:368
29:37feet
29:37okay
29:39fine
29:41seven feet
29:42very good
29:44it's
29:44quite fine
29:46even nine feet
29:48and if you put
29:49other values
29:51it will
29:52work
29:53perfect
29:54without
29:56any issue
29:57now
29:58it's a parametric
29:59static model
