Using constraints

- [Instructor] In this video, I want to look at several different types of constraints that you can add to your model. Now, a constraint is quite simply a rule that you're applying to the geometry within your model that will be maintained throughout the course of the project. I like to think of it as adding smarts to your model. So let's take a look at some examples of the kinds of smarts we can add. I'm going to start off by zooming in a region over here on the right-hand side of the plan, and let's say that this door here to the break room, I wanted to make sure always stayed some certain distance off of this nearby column. So, I'll select the door, and, initially the temporary dimensions will go and reference nearby geometry, and on the case on the right, it's actually jumping all the way over here to reference this window. Well, I don't want to build the constraint from the window, what I'd rather do is build it from the column. So remember that you can grab the little witness…
