Reference generator

Manage complex hierarchies in the Generation Editor with the Reference generator. Reference generators use Base generators as placeholders in the generation hierarchy to mark spots for new nodes. In other words, the Reference generator marks the spots where the Base generator will place its children.

To learn how to use a Reference generator, refer to Add and set up a Reference generator.

For more information on the Reference generator's properties, refer to Reference generator properties.

Example use

You could create one Leaf generator and use its settings throughout your model by adding a Reference generator that points to many areas in the model's hierarchy. Wherever the Reference generator points, the Leaf generator's settings (in this case, the leaf nodes) will appear.
