A member of [`ProblemCode`](../api/ProblemCode.md) · stable · since 2.0.0

Reserved: `space: 'parent'` in a document meant to be saved is an [`Issue`](../api/Issue.md) of [`validate('configurator')`](../api/validate.md) ([`IssueCode`](../api/IssueCode.md) 'space-not-storable'), never a Problem in 2.0.0.

## What to do

`space: 'parent'` children exist only in scene models your app builds at run time: save the document you build them from, not that scene model, and check it with [`validate('configurator', doc)`](../api/validate.md) first.

## Where the declaration names it

- [`IModelNode.space`](../api/IModelNode.space.md): 2.0 accepts it only in scene models your app derives at run time and never saves: [`validate('configurator', doc)`](../api/validate.md) reports 'space-not-storable' for it.
- [`validate`](../api/validate.md): So a stored document that loads passes unless it holds `space: 'parent'` ('space-not-storable') or a value the stored format can't hold ('not-storable'); a stored zero scale passes.

The set is open: handle a code you don't know (`'other'`).
