  Key Concepts: 
  Boundary representation (BREP) is a 3D modeling technique used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) to represent 3D objects. It is a type of constructive solid geometry (CSG) that uses a set of boundary surfaces to define the shape of an object. The boundary surfaces are defined by a set of points, lines, and curves that form the edges of the object. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Visual Enterprise, BREP is used to create 3D models of objects. The user can define the boundary surfaces by entering the points, lines, and curves that form the edges of the object. Once the boundary surfaces are defined, they can be manipulated to create different shapes and sizes. The user can also add textures and colors to the model to make it more realistic. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a 3D model using BREP in SAP Visual Enterprise, it is important to make sure that all of the points, lines, and curves are properly aligned. This will ensure that the model looks realistic and is easy to manipulate. It is also important to make sure that all of the textures and colors are applied correctly so that they look realistic when rendered.
