There is no one approach that works best in every circumstance. As a designer, it is important to identify what tools you have available so that you can choose the best approach when creating your models.
By applying previously learned concepts for designing through CSG, we can create truly unique models that rely on text for their functionality and performance. We will revisit text tools later in this book as we learn more tools and strategies for creating complex designs.
