Templates Tools

Templates are graphical objects used to derive surfaces and edges from point clouds. They are used in the Model by Section tool. Templates can be created from linear features such as line strings and complex chains, including b-splines to model objects like road surfaces. Closed shapes and complex shapes can also be used to model solid objects such as plant vessels, tunnels or bridge components.
