Like write feature property, Apply Usage writes information to a geometry via the flow. However, unlike write property or write feature property, this node applies as many properties as is required by the selected usage.
Usages, unlike Properties, often have additional nested settings. The Apply Usage node ensures that all Usage properties and defaults are included on the geometry from the flow.
