Workflow: Conceptual Masses

Create and explore conceptual mass families with this workflow.

In most cases conceptual masses go through several design iterations before meeting the desired project requirements.

1. Open a new family using a Mass or Generic Model Adaptive template.
2. Sketch the points, lines, and 2D shapes that will comprise the 3D form.
3. Extrude the 2D geometry into a form.
4. (Optional) Divide form surfaces to prepare the form for components
5. (Optional) Apply parametric components.
6. Load the conceptual mass into a project.
