Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium. A method includes receiving a geometric model in an initial state including at least a first feature and a second feature, at least one of the first and second features being a removal feature. The method includes detecting an interaction between the first and second features, and applying a dependency rule to the first feature and the second feature. The method includes performing a variational edit process including removing the first feature and the second feature according to the dependency rule. The method includes solving and recreating the edited model.
