FAQs

Where can I find further information on feature topology in SEDRIS?

See Part 4, Volume 4 Topology Technical Guide of the SEDRIS Documentation Set for further information.

Why can't a <Reference Surface> be associated to a <Feature Hierarchy>, as with <Geometry Hierarchy>?

A <Reference Surface> is associated to a <Geometry Hierarchy> to indicate that the <Geometry Hierarchy> contains a resolution surface. <Feature Hierarchy> instances are not used to represent resolution surfaces.

Notes

Associated with Notes

Feature

 An association between two <Feature> instances indicates
 that they are alternate representations of the same
 environmental object.

Geometry_Hierarchy

 An association between a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance and a
 <Feature> instance indicates that the <Geometry Hierarchy>
 and the <Feature> are alternate representations of the same
 environmental object.

Property_Grid

 An association between a <Property Grid> instance and a
 <Feature> indicates that the <Feature> and the <Property Grid>
 (or some specific cell data within that <Property Grid>) are
 alternate representations of the same environmental object.
 Each associated <Property Grid> will indicate which is the case.
