Primitives use hierarchy to determine how they affect each other, so it's important to understand the ways that you can organize primitives within the hierarchy. There are a few tools that you can use to organize primitives:

  1. Primitive containers
  2. Manage primitive order
  3. Primitive groups
  4. Repetition
