Build a grid using vertex.

[Lavos]

[VISUAL Basic 6]

I'm trying to make a routine for a vertex array so i may draw 3d grid on a from using:

```

DrawPrimitive, D3DPT_LINELIST, 0, mapsize / 2

```

and the mapsize in parameter in the data. Can anyone point me to the right direction on create a vertex array to draw a grid?

this is how i have it setup for now, i want it to be a tile grid with multiple polygons.

Rendered Wireframe:

I need it to look like this with the floor:

The next time you ask a question regarding how to do something you should make sure to include the language and the graphics library you're using; we can't read your mind, and the methods utilized to do what you're asking are as numerous as there are 3D libraries.

thanks budweiser, this kinda helps me think of a method to build one.

This is how i currently have it set up.

```

Public TileGird as D3DVERTEX

```

On the sub routine:

```

Public Sub Build_TileGrid(ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal z As Long)

Dim i As Long

Dim j As Long

'we generate a grid with a random hight level for

'each control point

For i = -1 To 1

For j = -1 To 1

TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).x = (i) * 1000

TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).y = (i) * 1000

TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).z = (j) * 1000

TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).tu = (i + 1) / 2

TileGrid(i + 1, j + 1).tv = (j + 1) / 2

Next j

Next i

End Sub

```

Now I'm stuck at what step i need to do to draw everything. Can anyone help me create a formula?
