Creating a Mesh

Leapfrog Geo provides you with several tools for creating meshes:

• Mesh from the Moving Plane
• Combining Meshes
• Clipping a Volume
• Clipping a Mesh
• Extracting Mesh Parts

These tools produce non-editable meshes ().

You can also create editable meshes () that are interpolated or triangulated:

• An interpolated mesh uses FastRBF to fit and interpolate surface data. The FastRBF is useful for creating meshes from sparse datasets or when data has large areas where there are no points. Interpolated meshes can be created from points data, GIS data, polylines, structural data and values objects.
• A triangulated mesh uses Delaunay triangulation to create the mesh. Triangulated meshes can be created from points data, GIS data and polylines. A triangulated mesh is suitable only for horizontal surfaces.

Editable meshes can be modified using other data in the project. See:
