Proceed in the same way with 2D and 1D Algorithms and Hypotheses that
will be used to mesh faces and edges of your geometry. (Note
switching the mesh to Wireframe visualization mode or switching off
the visualization of faces and volumes (if any).

It is possible to create a 1D or a 2D mesh in a python script
(using <em>AddNode, AddEdge</em> and <em>AddFace</em> commands) and
then use such sub-meshes in the construction of a 2D or a 3D mesh. For
-this, there exist two algorithms: <b>Use existing edges</b> and <b>Use
