Virtual Hierarchy Clones Containing Modgens

In a given clone family, only one clone, called the master clone, can contain real modgens. Other clones containing basic figGroups are called pseudo-modgens. Pseudo-modgens cannot be edited directly. If you attempt to edit a pseudo-modgen, the master clone is edited instead and any edits made to the master clone are synchronized and replicated in all the associated pseudo-modgens.

For a pseudo-modgen to accept the edits, it must exist inside a clone. Otherwise, the pseudo-modgen is treated as a basic figGroup, which cannot be edited using the Modgen Editor. To allow the pseudo-modgen to be considered for editing, you must enable the Modgen constraint for the figGroup using the Constraint Manager assistant.
