I've read though a few important posts to get the
intent of use out of the template. From what I can tell, it was originally intended to be used as a "quick and dirty tool", a start in the right direction for most.

If I can make a request, when it comes time to do a "Part-D", that it be 3D and include cross sectional information.
There was a thread to turn it into 3D, I'll find it later if someone else does not post it first.
