# Tools

***

The Tools part of the Felt SDK allows you to let users draw elements on the map by programmatically selecting a tool for them.

You can also set the settings for individual tools, to allow you to change the styling of the resulting element.

## Example

```ts
// Change the settings for the line tool
felt.setToolSettings({
  tool: "line",
  strokeWidth: 8,
  color: "#448C2A"
});

// Start using the line tool
felt.setTool("line");

// Put down the tool
felt.setTool(null);
```

> To create elements programmatically, use the [ElementsController](/js-sdk-api-reference/elements/elementscontroller.md) instead.
