Grid Projection
This command creates 2 clouds by projecting grids onto mesh(es). Making a regular grid is useful to emulate software that are only able to treat grids. In particular, it is the case of all softwares which do image processing and use a CCD matrix.
Requirements
Select all the meshes on which the grids must be projected and launch the command.
Choose the direction for grid projection:
Default: projection in Z direction of a grid with an horizontal axis along X axis
Custom direction: you can choose the Projection direction, the Horizontal axis, the Origin and the Offset of the grid.
Choose the grid parameters:
2D Grid: project all the points on a best plane computed from the selected mesh(es).
3D Grid: compute the grid projected on the selected mesh(es).
Choose the Horizontal and Vertical steps of the grid.
You have the possibility to extract the grid contours using the Contour checkbox.
