What is the BORN Technique?

Try as I might, I cannot find any documentation which provides a lucid and thorough explanation of the BORN Technique.

 

Can anyone direct me to such?

Thanks

Base Orphan Reference Node

The origin planes and centerpoint (and axis) have no parents and cannot be deleted.

Anything else can be deleted.  Anything else forms parent/child relationships.
So as much as possible use only the Origin geometry as datums to anchor your geometry.

 

Did you really try?

Thanks JD

Sorry to take so long to get back to this.

 

Yes, I have visited those pages.  However, I take on board your posting in which you say:

I think that I might have been expecting some more complex answer.  IPOF: I DO use origin geometry.  I just thought I might be missing something.

The very key to the BORN Technique is simplicity.
