# 3.1.4: Connected Parts

When creating a model based on imprecise geometry or using a generative process, elements may not be connected to each other as desired. The **“Connected Parts”**-component (see fig. 3.1.4.1) takes a model as input and determines its connected parts. It considers beams and trusses only. Connected groups get listed in a data tree in descending order of group size.
