A new [[MetaClass]] has to be created as a derivative (child) from another class (parent). This can easily be done in the ''[[Class Browser]]'' control following the stepsby
# Navigate to the favoured parent [[MetaClass]] in the Class Browser# Create a new child MetaClass with ''Derive new object'' from the context menu<br/>[[File:IL_HowTo_CreateMetaClass_01UI_HowTo_CreateMetaClass_01.png|220 px|alt=Derive new object|Derive new object]]
# Edit name and description, either
#* in the ''[[Class_Browser#Editing_name_and_description_of_an_object|Class Browser]]''
#* by opening and connecting the new MetaClass to the ''[[Object Editor]]'' control
# Save the object with {{key press|Ctrl|S}}
== Technical background ==
The system creates a new instance of ''[[CUSTOMMETACLASS]]'' and sets the ''Inherit'' property with the parent MetaClass. A custom MetaClass is consequently also an instance of ''CUSTOMMETACLASS'' and can be treated as a [[Content Object]].
