A designer working in generative shape design avoids working with multi-domain as it requires more efforts to make it useful. Specifically, when working with a feature whose references are derived from the intersection of a wire-frame feature. It could be a point, line, curve segment or even a surface.

This technical practice highlights the 3DShape update strategy known as Adapt incompatible dimension parent with wire sub-element used in Resilient modelling. When a feature is in error because of a geometric change in one of its inputs, the feature adapts the input locally instead of failing and provides the expected output.

You can choose to extract the Start, Middle, or End point of the wire result. Select this option to compute a point result from an input wire. Line feature provides better result with this strategy. 

Use Case : Execute the Adapt incompatible dimension parent with wire sub-element strategy when a parent feature cause error in a child feature.

Scenario: Let us consider a case where a surface is created from a line, and the line is defined using a Point onCurve feature. Now, the curve on which the point is created is positioned at an angle to a reference line. When you change this angle, for certain values of the angle, the geometry becomes invalid, causing the surface to fail.
