I noticed Through-hole Naming Convention doesn't contain an N suffix. 

However Surface Mount contains the suffix 'N' when using Nominal Density Level in Options. 

Can you explain this point?

The 3-Tier library system only pertains to Surface Mount footprints. 


 
There is only 1-Tier for through-hole and we refer to it as 'Proportional' pad stacks where the pad diameter is 1.5 times the hole diameter.

Also, when a Surface Mount footprint uses the Mfr. Recommended Pattern or the footprint is non-standard, there is no Density Level for these footprints as they are the mfr. recommended patterns.
