# Create Preset Trail Sets with the Guided Template

Walkthrough how to create a Trail Set for use in Motion Factory.

In this guide, we'll demonstrate how to:

1. Create a new Trail Set using the Guided Template.
2. Make adjustments to a singular Trail.
3. Customize batches of Trails.

## Prerequisites

* A Motorica account, created when you first open the [Motorica app](https://app.beta.motorica.ai/).
* An enterprise license. For more information, contact our Sales team.

## Get Started

Open the Trail Set Manager module within your Motorica dashboard to begin.

## Create a Trail Set with the Guided Template

1. In the Trail Set Manager's dashboard, click the purple `New trail set` button and select the `Guided template`.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Empty slate option creates an empty Trail Set, requiring every Trail and Gait to be made from scratch.
{% endhint %}

2. Select the Gaits you'd like to include in your Trail Set, whether those Gaits include strafe animations, and select if the Trails should be long or short.

## Use Trail Set in Motion Factory
