+In the example above, we are creating a box with control point dimensions 11, 9, and 2 in the x-, y-, and z-directions, respectively, for a total of 198 available control points. In the `FFD_DEFINITION` option, we give a name to the box ("WING"), and then list out the x, y, and z coordinates of each corner point. The order is important, and you can use the example above to match the convention. Alternatively, [this tutorial](/tutorials/Species_Transport/) contains more in-depth information on how the numbering should be done. The degree is then specified in the `FFD_DEGREE` option. A view of the box with the control points numbered is in Figure (3). Note that the numbering in the figure is 1-based just for visualization, but within SU2, the control points have 0-based indexing. For example, the (1,1,1) control point in the figure is control point (0,0,0) within SU2. This is critical for specifying the design variables in the config file.
