# Creating a Layout Model – Edit Models Option

1. Label the desired features that should be in your layout model.

2. From the Tool menu, select Edit Models.

3. In the Model Editor dialog, select Layout Model.

4. This will launch the layout model editor, where you can press the Add button to configure a region of interest that will define where to search for one or more features.

5. Configure the region of interest over the desired area of the image.

6. Select the region, and then select the feature(s) in the Feature Matching selector menu, and in the Feature Count field, set the number of instances for all of the features (i.e. the sum) within the region.

7. You can repeat steps 3 through 5 for each of the regions that should compose the model.

8. After closing the layout model (press the X button in the upper-right corner of the dialog), you will get feedback by the tool in the image/view.

   The check marks in the lower-left corner indicate if the region passed. If the features were not found, there will be an X instead of a check mark.

9. Press the Process icon of the tool to apply the model to all of the images.
