Model tree organization

- [Instructor] In the previous video, I discussed hybrid design a little bit. And with that setting turned off, it becomes critical you understand how the tree is organized. You'll notice that in this case, I have the solid in here. That solid body and all solid features created in part design are going into the part body. So, everything that I do automatically go to the part body. Now below that, once we get into generative shape design, you'll see these what's called geometrical sets. Geometrical sets are meant for everything that is not a solid. So, surfaces, points, lines, all types of curves, STL data, whatever you're bringing in will go into a geo set unless it is a solid. So as I look inside one of these geo sets, you'll notice this one just has a singular point. You'll also notice if I go into this one, I have a couple of sketches. Splitting elements has a plane, an offset, extracts parallel. Final is just as final split. And you'll notice under operations I have all sorts of…
