Hierarchy tool window
Use the Hierarchy tool window to analyze and navigate through hierarchies of classes.
You can update the previously built hierarchy by clicking the Refresh icon 
in the Hierarchy tool window. Alternatively, the results are updated when you run the next hierarchy command (unless you pinned 
the tab with one of the previously built hierarchies).
