Getting Started:

Cuboid:

Can be used to create both rectangular/square as well as cuboid grids.

  • Grid Count X/Y/Z - Number of Grid Points along local X/Y/Z axis [Z=1 gives a planar grid on local XY plane]
  • Grid Size X/Y/Z - Dimensions of an individual Grid Cell along local X/Y/Z axis [Does not scale visualization meshes; Check common parameters section for scale control]

Circle:

Can be used to create full/partial circular grids.

  • Grid Count - Number of equally spaced Grid Points along the Circular Arc
  • Radius - Radius of the Circular Arc
  • Central Angle - Angle subtended by the Circular Arc at the Center [360 = Full Cirle; <360 = Partial Circle]

Sphere:

Can be used to create Grid Points along the Longitude-Latitude lines of a Sphere.

  • Longitude Grid Count - Number of Grid Points along Longitude lines
  • Latitude Grid Count - Number of Grid Points along Latitude lines
  • Radius - Radius of the Sphere
  • Longitude Angle - Angle traced by Longitude lines along a Spherical surface
  • Starting Latitude Angle - Angle of the Northernmost Latitude plane
  • Ending Latitude Angle - Angle of the Southernmost Latitude plane

Hollow Square:

Can be used to create Grid Points in a Hollow Square formation.

  • Outer Square Grid Count - Number of Grid Points on each side of the Outer Square
  • Rank Count - Number of Square Patterns starting from the Outermost Square
  • Grid Size - Dimensions of the side of an individual (square-shaped) Grid Cell [Does not scale visualization meshes; Check common parameters section for scale control]

Flying Wedge:

Can be used to create Grid Points in a Flying Wedge formation.

  • Number of Rows - Number of rows of grids from Apex to Base of the Triangle
  • Grid Count Increments - Additional Grid Points per row from Apex to Base of the Triangle
  • Grid Size X/Y - Dimensions of an individual Grid Cell along local X/Y axis [Does not scale visualization meshes; Check common parameters section for scale control]

The following parameters are common to all types of grid creation classes and are used to visualize the Grid Points using Instanced Static Meshes:

  • Visualize Grid Points? - Set to True if you want to visualize the Grid Points
  • Visualization Mesh - Static Mesh used by the Instanced Static Mesh component
  • Visualization Mesh Scale - Scale of the mesh used for visualization
