</Frame>

This course will introduce you to nTop's latticing options. After completing the course, you will have developed an understanding of how to implement a lattice into your workflow.

**Prerequisites:** [101: nTop Essentials](/lessons/ntop-essentials/overview), [102: Guide to Meshing](/lessons/intro-to-meshing/before-we-begin-meshing)

**What will be covered:**

* Unit Cells, Cell Maps, and Periodic Lattices
* Creating Periodic and Nonperiodic Lattices
