# Lattice Modeling (Trial)

  Quickly create a "lattice model" consisting of multiple "lattice units" distributed according to certain rules in a part document.

# Creation process

To get started:

  1. Open the parts document, switch the toolbar to the lattice module, click the icon to open the lattice modeling command, and then pick up the target entity;

  2. Set lattice parameters;

  3. Click Preview to generate a preview with the currently set parameters.

  4. Click OK to generate the "Lattice Modeling" feature and grid entity.

# Parameter Description

  • Cell Type - Group: Set the style and size of the lattice cell.
    • Shape: Sets the style of the lattice cell;
    • Proportion: Select the way to adjust the size of the lattice unit, optionally "uniform, non-uniform";
      • Uniform (default) : the lattice unit is always a positive cube. Select this option to modify the "size" parameter and adjust the side length of the cube.
      • Non-uniform: The length of the lattice unit in the XYZ direction can be set separately, and the value of the "XYZ direction" parameter can be modified separately by selecting this item to adjust the side length of the lattice unit in different directions.
  • Lattice change - group: make the whole composed of lattice cells move/rotate in the target entity region.
    • XYZ distance: Separately control the distance of the translation in the XYZ direction;
    • XYZ Angle: the Angle of rotation around the XYZ axis is controlled separately;
    • Reset: Click this button to restore the lattice position and distance Angle values to their initial state;
  • Solid state - Group: Set the solid volume of the lattice, such as the thickness of the cylinder
    • Distribution: Control the solid state distribution mode, the current version can only select "uniform";
    • Uniform mode: the solid state value of the whole model is consistent, and the setting item is "solid state and sliding control".

# Special note

① The "lattice" feature, like other features, supports re-editing, deleting and other operations;

② The "lattice" feature has a sequential relationship with other features. When its reference feature (such as target entity) is modified, the "lattice" feature changes with the corresponding "grid model"; When the reference feature is deleted manually, the lattice feature will be deleted together as its sub-feature;

③ The "lattice" model is the grid model, which is derived in the same way that the ordinary grid model is derived.
