What are cosmetic features and what is their role?
What will be an ideal response?
Parts can be modified by altering their surface characteristics. These characteristics are called cosmetic features because they generally modify the appearance of the surface but do not alter the size or shape of the object, just like lipstick or hair coloring. Cosmetic features are necessary to the function of the part and may be included in the model so they can be used in later applications, such as fabrication. Some common cosmetic features include threads and knurls. Since the geometric changes are small and detailed, the cosmetic features usually are not modeled in their exact geometric form in the database of the object, but are included as notes or with a simplified geometric representation.
