Strand template

The allowable grid points for strands within the stem cross section. You can specify the number and arrangement of vertical strand planes in each stem, along with the vertical distances between grid points in each plane. Strands are defined by their row and column number within the grid, but the template allows for a mixture of regular and irregular grid points with respect to the vertical axis.
