## Grid

### Type

Parameter ID: `Q6GK3BNMBNXOTQC44E4H1Z`

Use this to select how many points are created and how the line segments are arranged.

- Segment: The structure is composed of simple lines, which always consist of short sections. A rectangular surface will, for example, be bordered by 4 separate lines that each consist of 2 connected points.
- Line: The complete width, height and depth are each covered by a continuous line. Correspondingly fewer points are required for the grid.
- Box: The border of each cell will be a rectangle.

### Cells

Parameter ID: `CJ8LTDOHEHFSRKTA6KMSO1` · Range: [XYZ ]

As with a chessboard, you define here the desired number of rectangular faces for all spatial directions.

### Mode

Parameter ID: `ZNWJPNWQI98JKISUD3SDEX`

The dimensions of the grid can be specified by entering the outer dimensions (Endpoint) or by entering the dimensions of a single cell (Per-Step).

### Size

Parameter ID: `D8HU8PODJ9RQBLJIOKV3BZ` · Range: [XYZ m]

Here you can define the dimensions in all spatial directions. The evaluation of these straights is based on the mode selected.

### Gap

Parameter ID: `IL1L_UBZBR3NCELYWQW3FX` · Range: [-∞..+∞m]

This allows you to set a circumferential gap between the cells, separating them from each other.

### Return

Parameter ID: `YSALUYTYOPMSOHF9CVJABX`

These modes define in which area the grid should be generated:

- Full: Each cell is drawn completely.
- Inside: Structures that run exactly along the outside edges are omitted.
- Outside: Only the lines visible from the outside are preserved. This only affects three-dimensional grids for which the inner lines can be removed.

A grid can be generated "Full" (shown on the left), "Inside" (shown in the middle) and "Outside" (shown on the right).

### Reverse

Parameter ID: `EJ_ELI7TLH9VRRK1IUHFVX`

This can be used to reverse the order of points.
