- [Instructor] Generative shape design for a lot of people can be a bit confusing because the tree, as we've seen in some of the previous videos, is not linear. Now most people coming out of other CAD systems will have a very linear tree, meaning I create a feature, goes into the tree, that's the time it was created. The next feature goes into the tree, that's the time it was created, and so on and so on, and it orders everything as it was created in the tree in what's called the timestamp order. Now when you're looking at the solids side of the world, the tree's basically set up in said fashion. But with surfaces, points, curves, all of the non-solid features, those things can be basically placed anywhere within geometrical sets. You'll notice here, the final output is a split, and I have these operations and I have a fillet. So this went on to build this. I know this because I designed the model, but how does somebody else get their hands on this and understand what's going on? This…
