RequirementsUnderlying grid must be 2d, planar

PlanarPrismModifier takes a 2d, planar grid, and extrudes it along the z-axis into the third dimension, optionally making multiple layers of grid.

➡

The cell types are mapped from the underlying corresponding 3d versions:

2d 3d
SquareCellType CubeCellType
HexCellType HexPrismCellType
NGonCellType NGonPrismCellType

There are similar mappings for dirs and rotations.

PlanarPrismOptions

The only settings are LayerHeight and LayerOffset, that function the same as the ones documented for MeshPrismGrid.

Cell co-ordinates

This modifier passes the x and y values to the underlying grid, and uses the z value for layers. So this modifier will break if the underlying grid also uses the z value. You can use the RavelModifier to convert grids to only use the x value.
