This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices that improve positions of objects structural representations according to hierarchical positioning. In one aspect, a method is provided that includes receiving a first representation of a structure, determining a second representation of the structure by aligning positions of objects within the first representation according to a hierarchy, and outputting the second representation. The alignment process can prioritize objects based on hierarchical importance, with structural elements like grid objects being positioned before other objects like structural core objects, interior walls, and other elements. The techniques may also include training one or more models based on differences between initial and aligned representations. Additional aspects are also discussed.
