Show and hide parents
When you want to focus on viewing certain levels of a model, you can show and hide parents.
Procedure
- Open the model or working context for the model you want to view.
- Click Architecture.
- In the diagram, click the arrow in the lower right corner of a child to show its parent.
- To hide the parent, click the icon in the child element.
If the parent is an anchor node, the child element that performed the hide action becomes the anchor node.
