So we've got this scene here and I've just rendered it, so if yours doesn't look exactly like mine when you open it, all I did was hit Command + R, and just to visualize the scene a bit more, so it looks a bit prettier, but what we're really focused on is the levels of hierarchy in Cinema 4D, and there are three primary levels of hierarchy.
