- Deployment of spatial conditions
This process involved deploying the spatial conditions coded on the site in the
previous stage. The diagram below shows how these conditions were sequentially
deployed.

- Editing
Although the previous process produced a form that optimally responded to Becca’s
vision of the project, that form needed editing. Students were able to predict the
type of spatial conditions that will be produced by their systems, but they could not
precisely predict the type of geometry that is going to be produced.
The editing process entailed keeping some spatial conditions while disregarding
others. Having used the editable poly as a modeling tool made this process much
easier. Editable poly, as explained in the beginning of this paper, allows users to edit
objects on five sub-object levels: vertex, edge, border, polygon, and element.
