An active model may be a model of a biological object such as soft tissue or hard tissue such as a bone, or may be a model of a physical object such as a cut guide, resection guide, instrument, implant, or the like. In certain embodiments, an active model may have different aspects, features, and/or attributes with respect to other models that a modeling design, viewing, modification, and development computer program product may include. For example, in one embodiment an active model may be a model of a three-dimensional solid object while a model that is not an active model may include a surface of an object by have no internal structure or content.
