Help!! I need to create a round table top with parameters (reduce or enlarge radius). How do I align and lock the circle to a reference plane so that I can flex the extrusion? I have tried locking the center point to a ref plane but that does not work. I have downloaded tables with this feature to see how they are made with no luck. They all seem to have locks to the ref plane....how did they get them????? thanks!

Hey, what I would do is dimension the radius of the circle, give that a parameter, and then create reference planes and dimension those. Then give those dimensions the same parameter as your radius. Im pretty sure you can't lock circles to reference planes, you can only lock it where the semicircles are. Refer to my picture for info. Would other people do my way too?

I dont't think that you need to. If you pin the two central ref planes and create the radius extrusion and give it a radius dimension, while still creating the extrusion as in timbo90s illustration, the dimension locks to the intersection of the ref planes.

thanks guys! turns out I was missing the first step of setting the radial dimension before extruding.

I tried this but couldn't get it to work for me. I found a way around it the works for me. I created my reference planes to work for where the centre should be and named the planes accordingly. Instead of using a void extrusion, I flipped the view used a void revolve. I set the work plane to my vertical reference plane and then locked my "axis line' to the horizontal reference plane. I then just drew in a rectangle as the boundary which is controlled by a diameter parameter.

Edit your extrusion.
Dimension the radius.
Set the dimension as radius parameter.
Finish edit mode.
The parameter for a round table must be set in the edit extrusion mode.
Then it works.
