Adding filled and masking regions

Adding filled and masking regions

- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to add some filled-in masking regions. Now, both of these share in common the property that they are custom shapes that you draw from a sketch that will cover up the model geometry underneath. We've actually got examples of both of them already here in the file. The breakline family that we created earlier has a built-in masking region. And you can see when I select it, that the geometry is kind of showing through it, so that mask is covering up part of that geometry to give us the desired visual effect. And the stair-nosing detail element here has a built-in filled region for the concrete pan there. And you can see that it's got the little stipple pattern and so forth. So the only real difference between a filled region and a masking region is whether or not it has a hatch pattern. Now we're going to create one of each of these here in this video. And rather than do it inside a family, like those two examples, I'm going to just build them…
