In modeling, a side or edge of a polygonal model, represented by a straight line between the two ordered vertices that define it.

In modeling, geometry that is formed from user-created (free-form) curves and surfaces, rather than from the exact conics of parabolic curves, circles, or ellipses. For example, the lattice deformer ...

focal length

Software; CAD

In photography, the distance from the camera lens to the film plane that determines the angle of view. In Maya, a focal length constraint is useful for controlling the angle of view in a scene.
