The primary hierarchy is used as follows:
-
It is used to create the 'constructed' name for unnamed elements.
-
When an element is deleted, all descendants in the primary hierarchy are deleted.
-
The COPY command will copy an element and all its primary descendants.
-
Claiming elements relies on the primary hierarchy.
-
Collections work on the primary hierarchy.
-
Most commands assume that the action is to be performed on the given element and its descendants in its primary hierarchy, for example, adding a ZONE to a 3D view will add everything below that ZONE.
-
In the Design DB, world positions and orientations are concatenated according to the primary hierarchy.
