Grid Creation Systems

Hi, I’ve started work on the v1.2 update for Grid Creation Systems. The initial plan was to add a new Grid Configuration, but I received some feature requests that could add a lot of utility to all existing configurations. The most interesting one of the lot was to have helper functions that return grid cells that satisfy certain specific conditions.

For example, a function that returns all grid cells in a particular row of a Rectangular configuration, or perhaps one that returns all grid points along a longitudinal plane on a Spherical configuration.

So I decided to focus this update on adding helper functions for all existing grid configurations, and then proceed to go ahead with the original plan of adding new configurations in subsequent updates. Starting with the Rectangle configuration, it’ll be receiving three new helper functions as part of the update:

  • GetAllGridCellsAt(X)
  • GetAllGridCellsAt(Y)
  • GetGridCellAt(X&Y)

Also included in the update will be new In-Editor Visualization options for these functions as shown in the preview below:

I’ll share the progress after completing work on the other configurations. Meanwhile, I’m always looking for new ways to improve Grid Creation Systems. So feel free to share your feedback & suggestions.
