# Placements

## Key Concepts

#### Front, Back, Left, Right

Many of the placement rules will make reference to `"front"` `"back"` `"right"` or `"left"`

These tags refer to sides of the parent objects bounding box. These tags are designed to be intuitive and will help you quickly define the approximate relationship between objects.

#### Local Coordinates

If an element is dependent on another element such as placing a window or a door on a wall you will define that object's location in local (U,V) coordinates.
