3D Grid Commands

Starting at version 8.0, GMS allows creating named layer ranges via the Grid | Named Layer Ranges menu command. A layer range has a name, a material, and a minimum and maximum layer.

  • Name – Can be any name entered.
  • Material – Enter the material ID number as define in the Materials dialog.
  • Min Layer – The minimum layer range.
  • Max Layer – The maximum layer range.
  • Material in undefined ranges – Enter the material ID for any layers that are not defined above.
  • Update grid on OK – Make the "Named Layer Ranges" material set the active set.

If named layer ranges are defined, GMS will create a material set called "Named Layer Ranges" that matches the ranges defined in the dialog (if the material set already exists it is simply updated). If the Update grid on OK toggle is on, GMS will make the "Named Layer Ranges" material set the active set. It is possible display a legend showing the named layer ranges.

Named layer ranges can be used in T-PROGS to target a subset of grid layers.
