Subshells

---

ACIS groups shells into a hierarchy of subshells for internal purposes. By computing and testing boxes that enclose subshells, ACIS can avoid accessing details of subshells and their descendent subshells and faces, which improves performance. Subshells are not accessible via the API, and are not generally used directly by applications.
