Storelocations should be defined down to the smallest possible location, to make finding the part again easy.
## Footprint
In electronics many components have one of the common components cases / footprints. The footprint entity describes such common footprints, which can be assigned to parts.
You can assign an image (and an 3D model) as an attachment to a footprint, which will be used as preview for parts with this footprint, even if the parts do not have an explicitly assigned preview image.
Footprints are a hierachically which allows you to build logical sorted trees. An example tree could look like this:
* Through-Hole components
* DIP
* DIP-8
* DIP-28
* DIP-28W
* TO
* TO-92
* SMD components
* SOIC
* SO-8
* Resistors
* 0805
* 0603
## Attachments
### Attachment
An attachment is an file that can be associated with another entity (like a Part, Storelocation, User, etc.). This could for example be a datasheet in a Part, the logo of a vendor or some CAD drawing of a footprint.
