A template is a guide to the shape of an object in a single plane. As in the curve of the roof, in line with the car, the curve of the roof side to side, the curve of the roof 45 degrees to the center line, at the corner. If the contours of the roof match the templates, they should all be close enough alike as to be virtually identical. The above would require three separate templates ( three different shapes ).
Templates are also used in ship models to check the shape of the hull at various points from stem to stern. This requires up to as many as twenty separate templates, to insure accuracy of the hull lines.
I have also used templates for the mass reproduction of certain parts, like door panels, seats, and other specifically shaped/sized items.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
