The MeshPlane command draws a rectangular polygon mesh plane.

Steps

  1. Pick two points for the opposite corners of a rectangle.

    Or, select one of the options to draw the rectangle in a different way.

  2. Specify the face numbers in X and Y directions.

Command-line options

(Default)

Draws the rectangle using two opposite corners.

3Point

Draws the rectangle using two adjacent corner locations and a location on the opposite side.

EdgeMidpoint

Draws the rectangle from the midpoint of the first edge, an end of the edge, and a location on the opposite side.

Vertical

Draws the rectangle perpendicular to the construction plane.

Center

Draws the rectangle from the center point and a corner.

AroundCurve

Draws a rectangle perpendicular to a curve.

Steps

  • Select a curve and pick the center of the rectangle on the curve.
XCount

The number of faces in the x direction.

YCount

The number of faces in the y direction.

  • Type a number other than 0 and press Enter to set the same number for both directions. Typing 0 picks a point at the current CPlane origin.
