HIERARCHY
Architron (LWCAD) depends heavily on the hierarchy of Cinema scene objects.
Some LWCAD objects can modify the parent object (parent modifier), some can be modified by the parent object (modified by parent).
You can attach active object as a child with:
Auto Parenting - automatically linked when creating an object.
Set Parent - a cinema tool listed in the Architron (LWCAD) palette
Object Manager - manually drag objects and create connections
Auto Parent (auto link)
Auto-parenting module is included in every Architron parametric object.
If this option is enabled, the newly created object is automatically linked to the object under the mouse when the first click occurs.
Hierarchy Modifiers
Some parametric objects in Architron (LWCAD) have additional modify functions when assigned to hierarchy:
Parent modifier - object geometry is affecting the parent object
Modified by parent - object geometry is modified from parent object
An example of a 'parent modifier' is Window object. When attached as a child to a wall, it becomes a parent modifier. The child (window) drills a hole in the parent (wall).
Each polygonal primitive object is also a 'parent modifier' if RT Booleans are enabled.
An example of 'modified by parent' is Floor object. When attached as a child to any object that can be converted to polygons, it becomes a modified by parent. Floor object (child) is created based on the parent object.
