Ordered Geometrical Sets Giving geometrical sets a timeline

Ordered Geometrical Sets Giving geometrical sets a time-line (assuming you want another time-line in your life)

Ordered Geometrical Sets work the same way as part design -Within a work body, parent / child relationships must be strictly managed in a sequential order. -Management is easy because it doesn’t allow you to get out of sequence - Skeleton data must come first (lines, arcs, sketches, points, etc. ) - Elements must come after skeleton or parent data. - No more chicken and egg problems - Parent elements are absorbed by the child elements Solid Example. CATPart - Face is takes the shape imparted by any parent elements. -Child pad. 7 takes that shape - Pocket. 6 cannot be re-ordered above parent feature

Using “Define in Work Object” to keep things in order - When extra skeleton geometry is needed, you must insert it in the proper sequential order. - Features are absorbed as you work. No need to repoint objects farther down in your tree. - A simple join at the end can replace publications. Surface Demo. CATPart - Adding points for a variable radius - Adding a semi circle surface and allowing it to propagate - Joins replacing the need for publication

No smoke and mirrors while surfacing (how to deal with not using elements that will be absorbed) Using existing edges of surfaces that will be trimmed off later on requires that you extract the needed geometry. You cannot offset a parent surface if it has been split. Only the resulting surface can be offset. It has been absorbed. With minimal effort a clear roadmap can be left for your own use, or that of others who may have to follow you. OGS cannot reuse obsorbed elements. CATPart -offsetting surfaces. -Using an edge that has been absorbed

Possible talking points Bad experiences with Ordered Geometrical Sets? Bad experiences with Geometrical Sets? Publications vs Finishing Join in OGS? Having to sort through someone else’s model? Consistency between solid models and surfacing. Pros and Cons
