ABSTRACT:
A design template includes a torso section being one of a group of a large male, medium male and small female having each being one of a group of an ERECT posture, a NEUTRAL posture and a SLUMPED posture. The design template also includes at least one cross-sectional section cooperating with the torso section at an anatomical landmark to provide a three-dimensional design template used for designing, evaluating, and measuring human occupant accommodation and seating in a seated environment.
