-If a geometrical subobject belongs to several geometrical objects -having different meshes or submeshes, it will be meshed with the -hypotheses of a submesh of a lower dimension.
-For example, a face of a box is meshed with a submesh using algorithms -and hypotheses other than the parent mesh on the whole box. The face -and the box share four edges, which will be meshed with algorithms and -hypotheses of the submesh on the face, because the face is a 2D object -while the box is a 3D object.
- If the dimensions are the same, an arbitrary algorithm/hypothesis - will be used. This means that an edge shared by two faces each having - its own different submesh, will be meshed using algorithms and - hypotheses of any of the two, chosen randomly.

The following sub-shapes are sequentially checked for presence +of a sub-mesh where 1D algorithm is assigned: + +(This sequence of sub-shapes defines the priority of sub-meshes. Thus more +local, i.e. assigned to sub-shape of lower dimension, algorithms and +hypotheses have higher priority during the search of hypotheses to +apply.) + +As soon as a 1D algorithm is found, the search stops and the same +sequence of sub-shapes is checked to find the main and additional 1D +hypotheses, which can be taken into account by the found 1D algorithm. + +The multi-dimensional algorithms have a higher priority than +uni-dimensional ones if they are assigned to sub-meshes of the +same priority. + +If meshing parameters are defined on sub-meshes of the same priority, +for example, different 1D hypotheses are assigned to two faces sharing +an edge, the hypothesis assigned to a sub-shape with a lower ID will +be used for meshing.
