Transition

As we move from one design style to another, many new opportunities arise.  Unlike before, we are now able to be hands on and see each piece's strength's and weaknesses are.  In addition, we can now view our structure in a three dimensional space.  This allows us to make modifications inside and on top of the truss.  However, there are some drawbacks.  The biggest one is that now the revision process after failure is not as simple as WPBD.  The time and effort applied into forming a structure has to be applied over and over again after each failure.  It is tedious and frustration.  Yet, it a sense it is similar to before.  We still use the same geometric to distribute force and we definitely use what we learned from WPBD and apply it to our hands on approach.
