Layered layout inside self loops [message #1838896]

my data model considers self loops as internal elements, meaning that node N contains self-loop edge connecting its ports P1 and P2. Naturally, I am using `Inside Self Loops` property. But as far as I understand (by trial and error), self-loop edges must be contained in the parent node, even though they are routed inside of the node N, so for each node I must extract its self-loop edges and put them into their parents' lists of edges, and create an extra container for the top level node to route its self-loop edges. Might there be any workaround?

Hi there, no, there is no workaround. But that should not be a problem since you need a parent node in any case to represent the whole diagram itself. That will contain your node (the one with the self loops) as well as the edges that will be that node's self loops.
