- Set Grid Height, typically matching the maximum building height.
- Set Grid Angle, Use the default N-S direction or align it with the primary border or facade. You can also click on any edge of your analysis area to copy its angle value, then paste it into the input box.
- To retrieve the absolute terrain height at a specific point, useful for setting a Custom Grid Elevation or for Flatten Close Terrain, visit MapGeoAdmin, enter the site address, and right-click on the desired point.
- If Flat Top is selected the top of the grid will be flattened at the height of the lowest point of the top. Otherwise, it will follow the morphology of the terrain.
- Define additional parameters influencing the 3D Grid of Sensor Points on the following page.
- You can upload an OBJ 3D model of your project building (Project Sketch) or customized context buildings (Custom Obstruction) in the Geodata. For more details, follow the instructions in the dedicated article: Import OBJ Files.
- Review your settings and click Finish to finalize the Grid creation. Your Grid will be generated instantly.
