Select and view feature relationships and add parents and children to the selection.
A feature relationship is a hierarchical relationship between features at the same location. One feature is designated the parent, others are its children. For example, a buoy could be a parent and attached equipment such as lights and navigational devices would be its children.
Feature relationships are called parent/child relationships in S‑57 data.
