4.2.4.4 The "Retrieved_Boss" and "Retrieved_Rib" Hypotheses

As with the hypothesis Retrieved_Part, rib and boss objects are dynamically created and their property slots filled with the appropriated values. Ribs and Bosses are obtained from the databases "rib.nxpdb" and "boss.nxpdb" respectively.

An object is created under the appropriate class for each feature. Each object name is a concatenation of the parent id and the feature id as found in the database. The feature id is usually the feature class name and a number, so the feature object generally has a name like "buick_rib1".
