Dependency

Interpolated children Spot Levels are dynamic objects holding dynamic relations to their parent Spot Levels.

Changes to parent Spot Levels

If you change the z-value or x,y-position of one or more parent Spot Levels, their interpolated children Spot Levels will be updated accordingly.

Changes to children Spot Levels

If you move Children Spot Levels their values will be re-interpolated based on their position in relation to their parent Spot Levels.

NB! Since a Child Spot Level’s elevation is interpolated, you cannot change it manually. Not unless you break the dependency.
