SEO Order

Hi all,

Is there a way to modify the SEO order?

ie. B SEOs A. Now I want to have C SEO B before it SEOs A.
Currently you would need to cancel the SEO of B on A, apply C to B, then re-apply B to A.

I do not think so.

In some cases a Merge will work as well with cleaning things up and that follows building material priority, so will behave in a predictable way.

Can't say I've had problems with order of operation before, perhaps you can model an element in such a way that removes the need for one of the operators.

I have been wondering about this issue myself recently as AC sometimes follows a running order with SEOs. For example if you reshape object A with object B and then use object A to modify object C it will take into consideration the effects of object B, but not always, It might be one of those things that GS needs to look at to boost the efficiency and consistency of operation. If the SEO running order could be manually organised it would sort out a lot of chasing around cleaning up spurious connections.
