The general objective of this paper is to analyse the dependency relations that may exist between several specifications of a geometric object. This object will be modelled on the basis of the TTRS concept and vector modelling synthesised by the metric tensor of a sheaf of vectors. The first problem that we propose to solve therefore is the formal expression of these relations. After that, the dependency will be analysed and illustrated considering a 3D object.
