Material/Map Hierarchy
Material/map hierarchy shown in the Material/Map Navigator
The Material Editor could be called the Material and Map Editor, because you
can use it to design both materials and maps, and any combination of the
two. In addition, you can create material or map hierarchies.
A material hierarchy is a material that consists of other materials (or maps).
Similarly, a map hierarchy is a map consisting of other maps. Materials that
consist of other materials are called compound materials on page 7742 . Maps
consisting of maps are compound maps.
