# Lattice from Graph

## About this Block

**What it does:** Creates a Lattice from a specified Graph and Thickness.

**Common uses:**

* Converting the Graph type used in the deprecated Lattice blocks into the third generation Lattice type.
* Converting an imported Graph type into the Lattice type.

**Tips:**

* The Thickness of the lattice is a Scalar Field type, which allows for a variable Thickness.
* Open up the block's Properties Panel to view the beam, implicit, and thick graph properties.
  * These properties are populated based on the type of Unit Cell you use. An error sign with a tooltip appears next to the property if it is empty.

***

Creates a Lattice from a Graph and a Thickness Scalar Field. The Graph's existing thickness data will be overridden.
