Flat v4 tree and Boolean V5 tree

Flat v4 tree and Boolean V5 tree

Flat v4 tree and Boolean V5 tree

(OP)
Hi,

I do agree about updating time improvment when using a flat tree in V4, but as sccot357 said in Thread560-71784, I'd rather have a tree I can work with (readable) and a solid I can easyly modify than a "pur flat tree".

As for V5, if you work with Boolean tree (nice name by the way), then when you update, CATIA will check if that Body needs a update, if not, catia will go to the next body. So it might save time if you don't have linked element between bodies ( need extra brain to remember all the link in a big solid hey !!). But again a boolean tree will be much more readable and I do think this is really important.

So if we split our BIG solid into bodies, then what should be the size of those ? I used to say for wireframe that when you don't see all features of a openbody in the tree because of the size of the tree (too long for the screen), then you should think about making more openbodies.

Speaking of the Boolean tree of a V5 solide I would say about the same thing: when the cannot see all features of a body/openbody in the screen, then you should consider sub-(open)bodies...

What you think about that ?
