Child Location in Rectangle of Parent Location #521

Closed NotHBlocks closed 2 months ago

NetBox version

v4.0.3

Topology Views version

v4.0.0-beta.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

My idea is to show the reactangle of devices from child locations in the reactangle of the parent loacation. I can drag them into the parent location but it should apply automatically because the child location belongs to the parent

Use case

I created a location named floor X. This floor has one room with the distribution cabinet and the other distribution cabinet is on the floor X. Now the topology should show the rectangle of the floor and in this reactangle should the child location be drawn.

With this feature the dependencies of the locations would be enhanced and this feature would model the reality much better.
