Other operators allow relatively complex operations with very little effort. All operations
shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 4.11 and Figure 4.12 are entirely <strong>based</strong> on a simple box primitive. Each of
the meshes is therefore produced us<strong>in</strong>g three nodes only: box node, FRep operation (taper,
bend, twist or deform po<strong>in</strong>t) and the FRep base node for polygonisation.
