We establish an explicit connection between the two approaches and discuss their inherent limitations, such as local self-intersections for the former and translation insensitivity of the latter. Based on these new insights we combine both methods into a novel shape editing technique that does not suffer from previous limitations, while retaining editing flexibility and efficiency.
