    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
