Explanation of "feature" and "region" entities

Mandy Kramer

After creating a model with my limited knowledge of the new HyperMesh interface, there are two entity categories I don't recognize: features and regions. Can somebody offer a brief explanation of how these came to be in a model that I did not intentionally create them in and what purpose they serve? Also, what possible impact could deleting them have on my model? Thanks,

Mandy
