- | A **well-formed shape** is defined as a shape that is complete and without abberation. For example, a rubber-band stretched in the shape of a rectangle is well-formed. However, a set of four lines meeting at four corners may not be considered as a well-formed shape. For example, a set of four matchsticks put together in the shape of a rectangle does not create a well-formed shape, even if the corners are glued together. | ||

- | A typical CAD software has shapes built out of elements like points and lines. These are called **ill-formed** shapes. Likewise, when a shape is extruded to form a volume, it can either be a well-formed object or not. | ||

- | A typical surface modeling software has objects that are ill-formed. Multiple ill-formed shapes come together to form the faces of the volume (object). In case of solid modeling software, if the geometry of the object can further be sub-divided into further geometrical shapes and elements, then the objects are considered as ill-formed objects. However, if the objects in the solid modeling software are holistic in nature and cannot be further geometrically sub-divided, | ||
