How to Import a Civils Extension Template

The scope of this article is to give a user a starting point in creating log strips for use in the Extension. To enable this, we have create some templates that can be copied and updated within Template Studio.

There are two parts to a Civil 3D Section Template, these are the Civil 3D Section template and the Civil 3D Strip template. The Civil 3D section template contains the template definition as well as allowing for the choice of strip to use.
