Transit trainers explain why a local platform-striping opinion beats a referenced platform pack. Which LIVERPS-based reason is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Local is higher on the LIVERPS ladder than References—so the station’s own striping sticky note beats the catalog pack. Save time and texture size don’t rewrite that ladder.
Full Explanation
Under LIVERPS, Local is stronger than References. Transit trainers explaining why a local platform-striping opinion beats a referenced platform pack are correct when they state that Local opinions are stronger than Reference opinions in LIVERPS, so the local striping wins. Station-specific civic striping authored locally therefore outranks catalog opinions contributed through a referenced pack, which is exactly how site fitout customization is supposed to work.
Claiming referenced packs always outrank Local because references load later fails conceptually: load timing myths do not invert LIVERPS; Local remains stronger. Claiming strength is determined only by which file was saved most recently fails because save recency is not the composition strength rule. Claiming striping textures automatically promote References above Local fails because materials/textures do not rewrite arc strength order.
Exam caveat: Local > References is a core LIVERPS fact; recency, load order, and texture quality do not override it. Operational check: author local striping over a referenced platform pack, inspect the composed attribute’s winning specifier/source, confirm it resolves to the local opinion, remove the local opinion, and confirm the referenced pack’s striping returns.
