Hi,  
I want to try image-guided surgery using slicer developed module.

The main Notes (displayed in data module) include :

1. Ultrasound ( `vtkMRMLVolumeNode` , real time transmission by openigtlink module through a image grabber connected with ultrasound machine)

2. `ImageToProbe` (constant linear transform), `ProbeToTracker` (real time linear transform acquired by NDI and transmitted by openigt module ) Their data type are both `vtkMRMLLinearTransformNode`.  
And with the help of openigtlink module, the hierarchy in Data module likes:

```auto
|--Ultrasound
|--ImageToProbe
|--ProbeToTracker

In oder to realize the function of image-guieded surgery, I need to transform Images (Ultrasound) from image coordinate system to tracker coordinate system. so I choose to adjust hierarchy ( draging nodes):
|--ProbeToTracker
|------ImageToProbe (success)
|----------Ultrasound (fail)

```

I have tried many times, but failed to drag "ultrasound "node to the lower level of `ImageToProbe` node.

More details about my system configuration are:  
Windows7 Slicer 4.5 Visual Studio2013

Hi! This was a known issue but it has been fixed since the release of 4.5 that was two years ago. 4.8 was released yesterday, please try with that. Thanks!
