Materials Plugins

Extended grid is based on the Grid plugin and allows the individual control of each coordinates lines characteristics..

Grid Type

Cubical

The plugin will produce grid lines aligned with the X, Y and Z planes

Spherical

The plugin will produce grid lines aligned with azimuth and elevation coordinates as well as concentric distance from the center. The poles are aligned with the Z axis.

Cylindrical

The plugin will produce grid lines aligned with azimuth and concentric distance from the center and along the Z coordinate. The cylinder axis is aligned with the Z axis.

Size Checkbox

Size, when checked, will switch the entries to size. Normally, entries are in Frequency meaning you enter the number of grid lines per cm or the number of grid lines per 360°. When in Size entry mode, you enter le size of grid lines in cm and the size of grid lines in degrees.

X, Y, Z, Aximuth, Elevation, Distance checkboxes

The checkboxes indicates that the corresponding grid lines will be displayed in the material. They are all checked by default. By unchecking some checkboxes, you tell the combiner to use only some of the grid lines.

Size or Frequency

Enter the density of the grid. When the "Size" checkbox is checked, those entries are entered in size meaning you enter le size of grid lines in cm and the size of grid lines in degrees. When the "Size" checkbox is unchecked, entries are entered in Frequency meaning you enter the number of grid lines per cm or the number of grid lines per 360°.

Size sets the size of a grid cell. That is the grid line and the grid interstice.

Ratio

Ratio sets the ratio of the size of the grid line in relation to the size of the grid interstice.
