# Using Assemblies and Components

Assemblies and components help you define convenient points of expansion for the scene graph. They are usually defined as part of the asset creation process, but you can also define them within Katana. An asset’s hierarchy usually consists of an assembly and then below the assembly are other assemblies or components, and below the components is the full geometry data.
