Abstract
In generative, constraint-based design, users graphically select shape elements of design instances in order to specify shape operations tha t have generic intent. We discuss techniques for naming algorithmicall y and generically the identified geometric instance, and report on our experience with implementing these techniques. In a companion paper, we give algorithms for matching the names when editing designs.
