An architectural
monument is usually formed by a number of components. These architectures
are shown in the CENSUS in a hierarchic, subdivided structure.
A look at one of the most complex examples, the Pantheon in Rome,
will clarify this. Choose the option 'monuments' in the quick search
menu by using the cursor and the Return key. Enter the first few
letters in the search string 'Panth', the cursor is automatically
positioned at the Pantheon:

Pressing Return displays the abbreviated entry (title card) of the
monument:
The main
entry is shown. The asterisk on the bottom line indicates that there
are further, dependent, records related to the Pantheon.
To access these entries, press 'i'.
The lower
window displays, in abbreviated version, the components of the building.
In front of the entries there are once again asterisks, indicating
further dependent records.
Move the cursor to one of the entries and press Return, for example,
to 'Porticus'.

The abbreviated line is automatically changed into a more extended
title card. The dependent architectural components i.e. dependent
on the 'porticus', are now on display in the lower half of the screen
without having to press 'i' again.
Some of these dependent entries show an asterisk, referring again
to further entries.
Pressing Return displays the list of the individual elements of
the component:
To view
photographs of the capital or base, move the cursor to the relevant
entry and press Alt + 'f'.
To obtain more information about one of the entries, press the right
arrow key several times in order to browse through the nine monument
data sheets.
The data sheet 'Relationships' contains all renaissance documents:
Move the
cursor to one of the entries and press 'f' to view images (if available),
or press 's' to switch to the entry of the renaissance document
(see the example 'Torso Belvedere').
