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.
