Session 8, Part A: A Special Application of the Adaptive Component

Instructors: Marcello Sgambelluri, John A. Martin & Associates

Class Description: This lab will teach attendees how to nest the adaptive component family into other families and how to change the host family’s parameter values by simply grabbing and dragging points or by pressing the arrow keys. Say goodbye to the old methods of changing family parameter values by manual entry or using the limiting “shape handles”. This course is not for beginners. The adaptive component is new, complex and utilizes the new free form mass family modelling environment. Therefore, anyone attending this lab will need to be familiar with the mass modelling environment and have a lot of experience building custom families.
