In the design process, a single design element often relies on multiple reference features. When design changes are introduced, an error in even one of these references can disrupt the entire element. With traditional troubleshooting approaches, identifying and resolving such issues becomes time-consuming and inefficient. This strong dependency between features can slow overall design progress and significantly increase the complexity of error recovery. The Adapt incompatible multi domain parent with Near/far strategy, will help you to overcome such scenarios. 

This technical practice highlights the Adapt incompatible multi domain parent with near/far strategy used in Resilient modelling. When a child feature enters an error state due to a geometrical or topological modification in one of its parent feature, the child feature automatically adapts the updated parent locally to restore validity and maintain continuity in the design process.

This strategy works best with two key features:

1. Point on Curve – When your curve has multiple sections (domains).
2. Circle with Center & Axis – When the axis you’re using has multiple sections (domains).

Use Case: Apply a local strategy override for a multi-domain parent feature, prioritizing it over the global strategy.

Scenario: In a design, when a feature has a multi-domain parent reference, and a geometrical change cause an error on one of the parent features, the local update strategy with Near/Far option is used to get the final output.
