Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium. A method includes receiving a model tree that defines a three-dimensional (3D) model. The model tree includes a history-free parent node that defines a complex 3D model and a plurality of history-based child nodes that define additional features that modify the complex 3D model. The method includes computing the 3D model, where the computed 3D model combines the parent node and the child nodes. The method includes displaying the computed 3D model as the complex 3D model modified by the additional features defined by the child nodes.
