Feature builder reference

Feature builders are semiautonomous feature constructors by which group templates create and place features relative to the primary feature geometry that is sketched with a group template construction tool.

Some builders include definable parameters that allow you to control the placement of features along the sketched geometry, for example, the distance from a vertex at which a point feature is created.

The feature builders listed below are assigned and configured in the Template Properties dialog box on the Builders side tab.

This builder is available only to primary templates with the line toolset.

Offset (Line) Offset at start of line

This builder is available only to primary templates with the line toolset.

Note:

If the features created by the group template are members of a utility network, a connectivity association record is created between the first point feature and the primary template line feature.

This builder is also available to primary templates with the line toolset but overrides the continuous line tool and sketches two-point lines.
