8.3 Graphic components within models cannot be modified
When you use a model from the COMPONENTS view, it displays in the LAYERS view as one object.
The graphic components in the model cannot be selected and modified. For example, if a model with a fan is
selected, you cannot select the states in which the fan should display with animation.
8.4 A graphic with relative binding that includes data points from
different branches of the hierarchy cannot be created at the Root
level
When a graphic is created, a virtual point is included by default, which represents the root parent node for the
graphic. That is, the virtual point identifies the graphic’s context within the building hierarchy.
Currently, when a graphic is created at the Root level of the hierarchy, this contextual virtual point is not
created and it cannot be manually added. Therefore, a graphic with relative binding that includes data points
from different branches of the hierarchy cannot be created. For example, data points from two sites cannot be
displayed in a dashboard that is created at the Root level.
However, a graphic with absolute binding that includes data points from different branches of the hierarchy can
be created. To use reuse the graphic at a different site, the binding must be manually updated.
