Instructions

On the Model menu, point to Grid Mesh Surfaces, and then click Load Grid Mesh Model panel.

Model Surface Name

Enter the file identifier (<gfi>) and model variable (<mv>) of the grid mesh to be loaded. The model variable is only required if it is different from the default (SF = Structure Floor). The full name of a grid mesh is <proj><gfi>.<MV>g. Prefix the <gfi>.<MV>g with an underscore (_) if you want to load grids from another project.

Display triangles

Select this check box to display the triangulation (if it still exists) that was used to generate the grid model.

Display Mesh Lines

Select whether to display the X mesh lines, the Y mesh lines or all mesh lines.
