Examples
Split rule
This example applies the Lot rule to a single shape (intra context). The shape is split in x- and z-direction into small lots. At the center of the initial shape a shape with label "label" is created. Each lot in the grid is extruded with respect to the minimum distance to the labeled center shape.

Scatter rule
This example applies the Lot rule to a single shape (intra context). Scattered cylinders are labeled with "label" and colored red in 1% of all cases. In all other cases cylinders are placed if they are more than a distance of 1 away from a red cylinder
