Points on a Grid By Distance

A grid of points can be laid out with respect to the XY plane of the working frame. Using this command, you specify the range of the grid and the distance between points, and SA determines the number of points for you automatically.

To Lay Out Points on a Grid by Distance:

  1. Activate the grid you’d like to use to define the grid orientation.

  2. From the menu, select Construct>New Points>Layout>Points on Grid by Distance. The Make a Grid of Points dialog will be displayed.

  1. Specify the range of the grid in all three component directions, as well as the desired spacing between points along each direction. You can also enter a destination collection, group, and target prefix for the resulting points.

  2. Click Create Points to construct the grid.
