9. Change hierarchy of objects in ScaffPlan.

ScaffPlan allows to access and modify any component separately inside of a tool inserted in the model such Wall Trace, Bay tool and others.
Based on the hierarchy levels of a tool as below it is possible to change the hierarchy to 1,2 or 3 from 0 as default and access a component required.
The hierarchy changes when we are holding down    and scrolling the mouse wheel up or down . 

The scroll Up means one hierarchy level down the scroll Down means the level Up.

If clicked in an empty space the hierarchy always gets back to 0 - the default highest level.

When required hierarchy level set as required an component might be selected in a tool for further modifications.
 

To get full understanding of hierarchy levels please recap on the following videos below:
