You are not confused. You are overwelmed. We all are when we start out.
So typically a
-surface object (building element object)
-- contruction object
---material object layer 1
---material object layer 2
---up to 10 layers
Objects in e+ reference other objects. In your case a shading fin might be best modelled using the surface object "Shading:Fin:Projection" (or perhaps something else is more appropriate). How did I find that? I do keyword searches in the documentation.
