This paper addresses the sufficient and necessary conditions for constructing $C^r$ conforming finite element spaces from a superspline spaces on general simplicial triangulations.
We introduce the concept of extendability for the pre-element spaces, which encompasses both the superspline space and the finite element space.
By examining the extendability condition for both types of spaces, we provide an answer to the conditions regarding the construction.
A corollary of our results is that constructing $C^r$ conforming elements in $d$ dimensions should in general require an extra $C^{2^{s}r}$ continuity on $s$-codimensional simplices, and the polynomial degree is at least $(2^d r + 1)$.
