A professional mesh creator will take these into account and make 1D and 2D simplifications accordingly. You will learn Connectors and Mesh edit examples

Connectors

Sometimes, meshes are made with both 2D and 3D meshes that are interspersed. Connectors help the computer understand that the interface is between two different kinds of meshes. Connectors are time-saving features that are a must in large models. In addition to this, connectors offer a way to let the computer know that two components have been seam welded.
