Describe is a method for visually presenting, or previewing, changes to 3-dimensional geometry. In Onshape, a user may apply a sequence of configurable geometric operations in order to design a 3-dimensional model. When a user edits a specific operation, the method provides a way for the user to see the effects changes will have on a model. The method provides high-fidelity visualizations of the user's design as it would be before the operation is applied, after the operation is applied, and the operation's effects in conjunction with the effects of all operations in the sequence. The method also provides an interface for transitioning between these visualized states, allowing the user to effectively and efficiently understand the effect of the changes.
