Layer Hierarchy

Relationship Between Parent Layer and Sibling Layers

A parent object contains other objects, including frame, component and combination.

A child object is the object included in the parent object.

The sibling objects are those included in the same parent object.

• In a frame which contains objects, the frame is the parent level, and the objects within it are the child level.
• The frame can not be the parent level without other objects included in it.
• If there are various objects included in the parent object, then the child objects included are sibling objects.
• All the frames, combinations and components can be either parent or child level.

Default Operation

When you're moving an object from the frame to a new location, Pixso will decide whether to set a new parent layer to it.

The relocation means taking out an object from its parent layer and nest it into another frame.

The default logic is:

• If the object < frame, Pixso will make the object be the child layer of the frame.
• If the object > frame, Pixso won't make the object be the child layer of the frame.

Bypass the Default Logic

You can bypass the default logic by following the steps below:

• When you're adding objects, press the Space key to prevent Pixso from resetting the parent layer.
• When you're removing objects out from the frame, press the Space key to keep it in the current parent layer.
