Click OK. Now, like in step 7 and 8, draw your circle and set your dimension to the Max PickRing Thickness parameter you just created.
Prior to finishing the extrusion, while in edit mode, we need to set your material. Click newmaterial and name it Max Pick Radius. Whatever color you choose, be sure that thetransparency is set to 75%. This way you will be able to see through your ring in 3d mode in yourproject.

When using the align tool, be sure to have your first pick where you want your extrusion to go,and then pick the extrusion. Once it aligns, be sure to lock it to the reference plane. Align yourradius to the Tower Crane Pick reference plane and also the Reference Level.

Now you can repeat the last few steps to create your other pick radii for your other pick lengths.
Adding Model Text to Radius- Now that your radii created, we will now create a model text so thelengths can be seen in 3D view. First, go to your Ref.Level Plan view. In the home tab, pick setyour work plane.

We will use these to develop our “no-fly” zone. The next step is to open the views we are going
to use and tile your screen. We are going to open the Front view and Ref. Level views.
Everything we are going to model will take place in one of those two views.
Your screen should look like this.
Notice that because it is face based the light appears to be upside down. This is because it is
being built off of the Reference Level that is the face of the object you will host the light to. The
light will always face out from the face you select. In the case of a ceiling the host face is thebottom of the ceiling therefor the light will face downward when placed on a ceiling.
We will first add a reference plane for our clearance zone top.

Advanced Family Examples
Now that you have seen the basics of family creation here are some advanced examples.
Concrete Pump Truck
These concrete pump trucks were modeled per the equipment specifications. They were then
placed in various positions to analyze the best position for each truck to allow for all areas of the
pour to be covered without the need to move a truck in the middle of the 3000 CY pour. The
reach area for each truck was then analyzed to find out how much concrete would need to go to
each truck to complete the pour. The specific numbers of trucks were then routed to the pump
trucks so each area received the correct amount of concrete to cover their area.
Concrete Pans
Pan decks consist of multiple lengths that are overlapped to make a specific length. They come
in multiple widths that can vary on the deck. This Family was created to maximize the efficiencyof the pieces so as to cut down on the amount of deck material that would be shipped to site. We
have used this on multiple projects to reduce the amount of material and thus saving the project
money by telling the supplier what we need as opposed to them sending what they say we need.
We used this on multiple projects and every time our analysis has shown that we need less
material than what the supplier was going to ship and charge us for.
