general-purpose geometric operators, most of which do work on the internal representation of a polyhedral complex as a triple of vertices, convex and polyhedral cells. Examples include the optimize operator used to compress the representation by putting all vertices in world cooordinates, and the explode operator used to get a view of the parts of an assembly
