2. After selecting the labeled features, right-click on the View and from the menu, click on Create Model and select Create Node Model.

3. This will automatically use the selected features and area as the nodes for the model, based on the input image, and open the Model Editor dialog.

   Note: See the for more information about configuring the parameters of the node model.
4. With the node model created, you can now label the rest of the images/views based on the node model.

5. The node model will be based on the last labeled feature when you generated the node model. Place this label on the feature, and the tool will automatically generate the node model.

6. The other nodes will indicate that they are potential parts of the node model. Select each feature to label each instance of the node.

   Note: For more information about the color codes of the labels, see the .

7. Label the rest of the images/views based on the previous two steps.
