Heredity - stage of construction

For individual types of input (soil assignment, anchors, supports…) there always exists relationship over construction stages. There are two types:

Defined heredity – (anchors, supports, surcharges…) – these objects always remember the stage, in which they were created. This is also the stage where these objects can be edited. In all subsequent stages these objects can be either removed or it is possible to change some of their properties (post-stressing anchor, changing surcharge magnitude, translating support…). When defining a new construction stage these objects are automatically carried over to that stage.

Automatic heredity – (assigning soil, terrain profile, water impact, analysis setting…) – for such types of inputs the properties from the previous stage are carried over to a new one if created. When changing properties in the current construction stage the program proceeds as follows:
