Getting starting with Cross Hatch tool
Geometry parameters
Length and Width – The size of the rectangular surface to which the design will be applied.
Panel length – The length of each panel, which can vary from 70 to 150 cm.
Depth of the panels is controlled by two parameters, Minimal panel depth and Depth panel variation:
Minimal panel depth – the depth of the shallowest panel.
Depth panel variation – determines the difference between the panel with the minimal depth and the panel with the maximum depth. The maximum panel depth is limited to 35 cm. For example, if the minimal depth is 25 cm and the depth variation is 20 cm, the maximum depth will not be 25 + 20 = 45 cm but will be limited to 35 cm.
Orientation – controls the placement of the shallowest panel.
To set the dynamics and angles of the design use angle parameters. If all angle values are set to 0, you will have an orthogonal horizontal-vertical grid.
Slant angle – rotates the orthogonal grid.
Variation angle 1 – rotates one set of panels within a range from 0 up to the maximum angle set by this parameter.
Variation angle 2 – rotates the other set of panels within a range from 0 up to the maximum angle set by this parameter.
Cross Hatch: Materials
HPL texture direction 1 – sets the material for one set of panels.
HPL texture direction 2 – sets the material for another set of panels.
Background color – for better visualization, the background surface can be set to light, gray, or dark.
Background visibility– allows control over the visibility of the background surface.
