1. Start sketching the family you intend to create - How should the family look like - What details (LOD) to include
2. Create new family file from appropriate template/ Open an existing family file similar to one you wish to create
3. Includes basic settings & behaviors - Start with the framework - Add reference planes - Create geometry & lock it into the reference planes
4. Test the family file by flexing it, simply try different values for each parameter & then apply.
5. When all geometry & parameters have been created, applied & flexed, you are ready to save the file & load it into a test or a live project.
1. Selection- Type of Family
2. Select Family Template
3. Insert Family Details
4. Testing the Family file
5. Load File
