Hierarchy

Parenting objects such as screens, props, and projectors.

It is possible to make a object such as a screen, prop or projector the child of another object. This links the objects together, meaning that if you change the offset and rotation properties of the Parent object, the Child object will also be affected.

How to add a child to a screen

1. Right-click the screen you want to turn into a parent screen, in this example mother screen. This will open the Screen editor. Notice that stage 1is the parent of the Mother screen.
2. Under the hierarchy tab, left-click Add Child. This will open up a list of all screens and props in your Stage.
   
3. Left-click the screens you want to turn into children of the Parent screen. In this example we have added child screen 1 and child screen 2 as children of the Parent screen mother screen 1.

Note

Please note: After adding a child to the parent screen you will see that the child screen position and rotation have changed. This is because its offset position and rotation is now calculated from the pivot point of their parent screen rather than calculated from the centre of the Stage.

How to parent the child back to the Stage

• Under the hierarchy​ tab under the the child screens editor, left-click Parent to Stage. This will bring the child screen back to be parented to the Stage, in this example stage 1.
