The Grid Preferences interface in VisionLidar’s Civil Module allows users to customize grid properties for each layer independently. This ensures consistent visualization, annotation, and structure when working with grid-based surface representations.
1. Key Features of Grid Preferences
✔ Layer-Specific Preferences – Each layer retains its own grid settings for flexibility.
✔ Default Interval Configuration – Set standard X, Y spacing values when opening the interface.
✔ Custom Line Styles and Colors – Define how grid lines are traced and displayed.
✔ Text Annotation Settings – Control altitude labeling at grid intersections.
2. Grid Preference Settings
Option | Description |
|---|---|
X, Y Interval | Sets the default spacing between grid lines. |
Lines | Selects line styles and colors for drawing the grid. If Color by Scale is used, VisionLidar colors triangles based on elevation or slope without drawing additional elevation indicators. |
Texts | Defines the annotation style for displaying altitude values at grid intersections. |
✔ Edit Line and Text Preferences – Click the configuration buttons to modify settings.
✔ Enable or Disable Elements – Uncheck options to exclude grid lines or annotations from rendering.
3. Best Practices for Grid Preferences
✔ Set a default X, Y interval that suits your typical project scale.
✔ Use Color by Scale for terrain visualization, but disable unnecessary annotations to avoid clutter.
✔ Customize line styles to differentiate between grid types in multi-layer projects.
✔ Adjust text settings to ensure clear altitude labeling at grid intersections.
