Using reference planes, parameters, and constraints

- [Instructor] In this movie we're going to look at reference planes, constraints, and parameters. Now reference planes are how you add structure to your families, and constraints and parameters are how you add smarts. So I'm in my file, and I've got four windows tiled, and you don't have to keep all four windows tiled but I think it's a pretty good idea. And I'm working here in the Floor Plan: Ref. Level initially. Now there are two reference planes already in this file. So if I select this one right here, you'll see it's named Center FrontBack and it's pinned, and then I'll select this one and it's named Center LeftRight and it's also pinned. And the reason that those two are pinned is because they represent the insertion point of this family. So what I want to do is add additional reference planes to find the size of my pool table and I want to make sure that that size always stays centered on this insertion point. So to do that, I'm going to go to my Create tab here, and on the…
