Remarks

While you can directly set the parent of objects using the properties on items in the editing model, The ModelParent class allows you to know what objects can be parented into each other. ModelParent allows you to easily change parents from one object to another. ModelParent uses the ParentAdapter class on objects to understand parenting rules.
