Template Tool Workflow
- Draw a template using standard MicroStation drawing tools to use for modeling. It is best to do this in a section view.
- Create a template using the Create Template tool. Provide a name and toggle on Keep Original to keep the original geometry.
- Add any constraints using the Create Constraint tool. A constraint will associate one or more vertices with a master vertex. When you move the master vertex, the other vertices will follow. Each individual vertex can be moved on its own. Constraints are useful when modeling a feature that is constant on one side and variable on another, such as road crown and cross fall (constant) and a ditch (variable). Use the CTRL key to select multiple vertices.
- Accept the constraints with a data point.
