Biological tree-like structures, such as mammalian tracheobronchial airways, are complicated branching systems. One problem in modeling such systems is the reassignment of the number of segments at a given generation in the model being constructed. A hypothesis is proposed which has successfully bee

✦ Synopsis
In this paper a method for creating geometrical models of tree-like anatomical structures is described. This method is basically interactive and thus it takes advantage of the user's expertise to define highly-structured models even when using nonhomogeneous data sets. Flit, tubuhu cavities are reconstructed seguentlally; then, junctions between these cavities are provided in such a way that resulting models are continuously shaped (we characterize this property by the Gr-continuity (i.e., a tangent plane can be defined at any point on the surface).
