Hi Ian, Thanks. We think this problem resembles what is done when two section archetypes are combined into a composition with Oceans archetype editor. This requires to create two different section archetypes that contain the weight and height archetypes. These should the be included in a composition archetype. However, if you'd like to create an archetype that is, say an evaluation archetype which is based on the two other archetypes, then you want to be able to insert so-called archetype slots in the (BMI) evaluation. Then you could also add invariants that states the relation between the two archetypes e.g. weight/height^2. We would like to see this functionality in our editor, but at the moment none of it is supported. Regards, Johan & Mattias
