In a model of the Matrix model type, you can represent object connections. You can use existing objects or create new objects. You can conveniently select objects from the entire database.
You can view all existing connections, display only one connection in the matrix model, or add new connections.
In the matrix model, you can place or move objects as required, sort them alphabetically or according to methods, or arrange them hierarchically.
