The Bottom Line

Use generic model outline families. Using massing families can be the basis for creating many conceptual shapes and forms. Understand how to create outline families using parameters.

Master It Using at least five different parameters within a massing family, of which at least two are nested within others, create a model outline type that can be flexed between forms.

Understand advanced conceptual massing. Once you understand the mechanics of creating parametric model outline families, the next step to utilizing them to generate complex geometric forms is to bring those families into a mass.

Master It Bring the families created in this chapter into a massing family to leverage the applied parameters.
