The equation is constructed in the Options panel.

• You can enter an equation in the input fields for X, Y, and Z is for 3D equations.

• Clicking the icon to the right of the X, Y, or Z input fields opens an editor for more complex equations.

• Use the Show UV grid option to display a grid on the surface and adjust the grid density using the dropdown slider. The grid helps visualize the surface contours.
