Template:SMS Generate Quadtree Workflow

1. Create polygons in the Quadtree Generator coverage.
Polygons are not created automatically when arcs are enclosed. To create polygons: Use the Feature Objects | Build Polygons command.

2. Specify quadtree attributes for each polygon (land/ocean).

3. Create quadtree grid frame.
Use the Create 2D Grid Frame tool to click out a grid frame. Double-click on the grid frame with the Select 2D Grid Frame tool to bring up the Grid Frame Properties dialog. Use the Grid Frame Properties dialog to refine the dimensions of the grid frame.

3. Generate quadtree from the Quadtree Generator coverage.
Select the Mesh Generator coverage and use the Map → Quadtree Grid right-click command. Set the quadtree grid parameters in the Map → Quadtree Grid dialog. Review the mesh quality for the newly generated mesh.
