Q. Explain points, lines, and face elements used in CIM.

 

A. CIM defines points, lines, and face elements as [Vertex / Edge / Face].

 

 

[Vertex / Edge / Face] represent points, lines, and planes that make up an object, and since these are elements, they differ from [Point / Wire / Surface] that are objects.
