9 2.2 Advanced Authoring In order to support Change Management, authoring has to be based on the special guidelines: Do not change structure of original Scene Tree (BOM), operations like delete, relocate, collapse and so on. In case structure changed, Parts Replace will recreate structure from new Engineering Revision assembly and delete all authored content associated with these parts. Do not alter Parts geometry (Polyreduce, Mesh Edit and so on). Parts Replace will automatically restore all changed geometry from the new Engineering Revision assembly. All additional content (tools, visual context and so on) has to be placed in separate folder beyond top level of assembly.
