Function

Grid Face creates a complex curved surface by specifying heights at Grid points on an imaginary Grid assigned in the Work Plane.

Call

Geometry > Surface > Create > Grid Face

<Grid Face>

M(Size)

Enter the number of grid lines perpendicular to the direction of the X-axis.
 

N(Size)

Enter the number of grid lines perpendicular to the direction of the Y-axis.
 

Origin X

Enter the X-coordinate value of the starting point of the Grid in the Work Plane Coordinates.
 

Origin Y

Enter the Y-coordinate value of the starting point of the Grid in the Work Plane Coordinates.
 

DX

Enter the grid spacing in the X-direction.
 

DY

Enter the grid spacing in the Y-direction.
 

Name

Enter the name of the surface to be created.
 

Elevation

Z-direction coordinates, which constitute a surface, are entered in the Table dialog box.  Data can be read from a file.  The file type is similar to that for Point Data File used in Tabular Input.
