(This functionality is available with the Computations
module)
Creates points in a grid, by specifying its grid size, interval, direction, distance and elevation.
To run this option, select the Create/Point command and the Method/Plane Grid command from the Computations task to display the relevant wizard.
The points to be created will be given the attributes currently defined via the Attributes/Point command. You should use that command to set the required attributes before creating any points.
Important: Refer to the Creation Methods-Special Notes topic and ensure that you are familiar with its contents.
Create Points by Plane Grid Wizard
| Item | Used to |
| X Direction: | Key in the X direction of the Grid. Alternatively, snap to and accept to existing points to define a direction. |
| Origin East: | Key in the Grid Origins East Co-ordinate. Alternatively, snap to and accept an existing point to use its co-ordinate value. If this field is left blank the co-ordinate will be taken as 0. |
| Origin North: | Key in the Grid Origins North Co-ordinate. Alternatively, snap to and accept an existing point to use its co-ordinate value. If this field is left blank the co-ordinate will be taken as 0. |
| Note that the Grid Origin can be anywhere on the grid area and that a point will not be created at these co-ordinates, it is a reference point only. | |
| String all points: | If this is checked, then all points in the grid will have lines
created between them. The line to be created will be given the attributes currently defined via the Attributes/Line command. Note that if Line Segmentation is checked then individual lines will be created between each of the grid points. |
