I created a process model consisting of several steps. One step of the toplevel process model is a subprocess. That subprocess also consists of a number of process steps. I managed to animate the process but the animation does not ‘descend’ into the subprocess to animate the steps modelled there. Is there any way to accomplish that?

I believe this question should be answered in [How to animate subprocesses in BPMN](https://forums.visual-paradigm.com/t/how-to-animate-subprocesses-in-bpmn/21412)
