What is the Hierarchy Level 3 Parts Category, how does that reflect in your 3D model?

Where an assembly or part shows a “3”, this shows that this part is at the third level down in the hierarchy, beneath the level 2 assembly that is positioned directly above it in the hierarchy.
Below, this is listed in cell C4.
This continues for as many levels deep as your current hierarchy goes.
As you can see below, highlighted in orange, the Pulley-1 part is Level 3 in the CAD hierarchy. This is reflected in the 3D model at the top of the model.
Below, you can see Pulley-1; this is housed in the Pulley Coolant Pump, inside the Water Pump Assembly. You can follow the parts hierarchy at the top of the screen.
Important Note: Your Parts Categories file must be saved as a “CSV” (comma separated values) format when you are finished working on it.
