Hey all

I was wondering how you apply a bevel or chamfer to the edges of extrusions? is there an easy way to run edges around all edges of and object 

I was also wondering how you select and Item when there are a couple stacked on top of each other? ie a line on the edge of a wall.

And sorry but one more newbie question, how do you resize extrusions when making families? there doesnt seem to be the same alterable dimension down the side as with other objects? do you have to mock it up with measured lines first?

thanks a lot in advance to anyone who can help

To apply a bevel - wherever possible, use the extrusion profile shape first ... might get you two edges.  For the other two ... or more sides, use a void form.  All sides might be done at once using a sweep. 

To select objects stacked on each other ... use your tab key to cycle through your selections... shown in lower left corner.

To resize extrusions... learn how to add parametrics using parameters to your family.  Read about this in your help.
