- So, now let's answer question two. What would different designs look like with assorted arrangements of panels? In order to answer this question, we need to actually visualize this sort of geometry. In our exercise file, you can see that we already built the sorting logic, and we're sorting the face boundaries into three types. You also want to add an additional sort to the mesh face normals, because we're going to use the normals to visualize the faces as three dimensional objects. We think about how we're going to visualize these things. We need to generate three dimensional objects, and we need to assign custom colors and custom depths to each type. So let's add those inputs. We'll set the depth using a panel at two. We'll grab the normal as a vector, and use that as an input. And we'll set the color as a color swatch. Under pariams input color swatch. I'm going to add two components here, to make the input clearer. So add a color component and plug the swatch into it, and I'll…
