    The functionality to create virtual hierarchy (for missing layout hierarchy) is available in 20.1 Virtuoso Layout EXL

    The Design Planning Flow (Video) (cadence.com)

    In IC618 you will need to adopt a bottom-up approach and 'Generate From Source' for each schematic hierarchy.

    A workaround would be to generate the flat layout and 'Make Cell' for the specific cell devices.
