Because the master part must be able to generate each of the member parts by merely changing the parameters of the model, it has to be extremely flexible. The model should be extremely robust, such as being able to prevent out-of-range dimensions from causing the part to fail. The part should also be as simple as possible as more complex models will have a greater chance of failure when regenerating, and will take up more disk space.
