Apply scopes to child objects

If you manually create or change the scope of an object, the scope of the child objects remains unchanged. If you want to automatically and specifically adjust the scope of the child objects to the parent object, use the Apply to child objects function in the Valid for and Invalid for object properties.

Note: When you create a new object in WebModeller, the object and its child objects inherit the scope of the parent object by default. When you copy an object, the scope of the object and child objects automatically changes according to the parent object under which you pasted them. If you have only moved or cut and pasted an object, the scope does not change. You must manually adjust the scope as needed and apply it to the child objects.

Attention: When you paste copied objects as a reference, changes in the scope in the properties of the reference are automatically applied to the main object. See also .
