Re: TopSolid to Blender

I've seen your YouTube channel before, it seems you're quite proficient at Blender, I'm trying to migrate to Blender from Luxology/Modo, it has been a difficult transition, I think I'm getting too old for chang...

Re: parametric assemblies with key points vs driver blocks?

Laurens,

Thank you for the suggestions, I would have never thought about working from the outside in, Or making big blocks and inserting smaller blocks within the big blocks for each wall. I agree that it needs to be flexible, clients seem to always change their minds.

Thank you,
Robert W.

Thank you for everyone's input. What are best practices for workflow when placing a lot of cabinets in a room? Sorry, this may be a basic question but if you start with the Sketch(tool) + Rectangle(tool) and connect each corner and layout cabinets locations in the room, and you start placing cabinet...

Just to follow up, I was wondering if had a similar experience starting with parametric assemblies componets with key points and then moving to driver block assemblies. What were the pros and cons? and what was the workflow differences?

parametric assemblies with key points vs driver blocks?

In my early days with TS I created parametric assemblies with key points. I have built a large library of parametric sub-assemblies and components. I have recently started making driver block assemblies and I love the concept and see the potential of it. What is the best method for design room layou...
