A new hierarchy of shape representations with three levelsis adopted in this framework. Based on this new hierarchical shape representation, the proposedframework offers concise integration of various volumetric- and surface-based modeling techniques,such as Boolean operation, offset, blending, free-form defor-mation, parameterization and texturemapping, and thus simplifies the complete modeling process. Previously to achieve the same goal,several separated algorithms had to be used independently with inconsistent volumetric and surfacerepresentations of the free-form object.
