The Grid Creation interface in VisionLidar’s Civil Module is used to generate a uniform grid of points across a surface. This function helps in surface representation, triangulation improvement, and perspective visualization.
1. Key Features of Grid Creation
✔ Generate a Uniform Grid – Create points evenly spaced across the terrain.
✔ Improve Surface Representation – Fill in areas with missing data to enhance rendering.
✔ Support Tetrahedralization – Use grid points for solid modeling applications.
✔ Choose an Interpolation Method – Select the best calculation technique for your project.
2. Grid Creation Parameters
X, Y Interval
Defines the spacing between grid points in the X and Y directions (row/column layout).
The smaller the interval, the denser the grid (higher precision but increased processing time).
Creation Methods
Method | Description |
---|---|
By Triangulation | Interpolates grid points using existing triangulation for a more natural surface representation. |
By Nearest Neighbor | Assigns each grid point the value of its closest existing surface point. |
By Nearest Neighbor on Surface Plan | Similar to nearest neighbor, but optimizes interpolation based on the best-fit surface plane. |
3. Grid Drawing and Modification
✔ Draw/Erase Grid – Preview the generated grid before finalizing the process.
✔ Add Grid Points to Surface – Integrate the new points into the surface. (Irreversible—use with caution!)
4. Best Practices for Grid Creation
✔ Use a small interval for high-precision modeling.
✔ Select the right interpolation method based on terrain complexity.
✔ Preview the grid before applying changes to avoid unintended modifications.
✔ Utilize the grid for tetrahedralization when surface gaps affect triangulation.
