As lcaturcs are created they are added to the I catureManager d<.!S1gn tree. As a result, the FeatureMnnager dcs1gn tree represents the chronological sequence of modcling opera!Ions. The FeatureM:.111ag.er design tree also allows access to the editing of the features (objects} that it contains. FeatureManager Des1gn Tree
