518 | ChaPTER 12 Creating Walls and Curtain Walls

Figure 12.50
a surface of the
conceptual form
has been divided
and the uV grid is
displayed.

4. Select Distance, which will allow you to enter a specific absolute distance between grids
across the divided surface. Under the Distance setting, there is a drop-down menu that
also allows you to specify a Maximum Distance or a Minimum Distance value; these are
similar to the constraints described earlier in this chapter for basic curtain walls. Make
sure the surface is divided by number, with a U grid of 10 and a V grid of 10.
5. With the UV grid selected, you will see a 3D control (x-, y-, and z-axis arrows), and an
icon appears in the center of the surface. Click the icon to enable the Configure UV Grid
Layout command. The display will change (Figure 12.51), and you can now apply specific
settings to control the UV grid even further.

Figure 12.51
to configure the
uV grid, click
the icon at the
center of the
surface.

You have the ability to alter the rotation of the grid, the UV grid belt, and justification
of the UV grids at the surface borders. These grid configuration parameters can also be
found and modified in the Properties palette.
