Is that possible to group geometries just like group Definitions or parameters?

As I'm working to model a bridge system with all possible details. I got so many geometries (solids, edge, shell, etc) and it's a messy to organize or follow. Is there a way to categorize the geometries so that it can be easily managed?

Thanks

Ivan

Hello Ivan,

For Parameters, the order in which they appear does not play a role, so they can be grouped as you like. Similarly Definitions can be grouped by type. For geometry operations though, the order in which they appear is crucial: the same operations in a different order give you a different object.

With that said, a functionality that can help keep complex geometry branches readable is Geometry Parts, see this blog on that topic.
