# Blue Locate Tool – Node Models

Node models are a used to group features together that appear in a similar geometrical position, and a node model provides a transform that can be consumed by downstream tools to adjust the orientation of Views.

The node model has its own properties relating to the number of features that can be found (nodes), the identifier of each node that can be found, as well as the minimum distances and angle range that the model can exist in. Models can also be created and detected after training the tool.

Each node of the node model also has some of its own information, such as angle, position in the node model, and what the valid features are for that node.
