Now, the part navigator can get very muddied up quickly because as you start building stuff, you're gonna be building a lot of curves, you're gonna be building intersections and projections, all sorts of datums, surfaces, until you get your final solid body. So until you do that, you wanna make sure that you have a nice, organized tree. Otherwise, it can get kinda difficult to figure out what's linked where, how things are tied to one another, and so on. So there's a tool that I like to use here called feature groups. It allows me to clean this tree up a little bit.
