Using this command, you can generate a 2D graphic representation of the gems in your design, their placement, and their weight in carats.  Gem setters love this tool.

There are two parameters: **Scale** and **Projection**. By default, the scale is set to 2, doubling the map's size. The second parameter is the projection, which can be **Planar** or **Spherical**, depending on the case. In most cases, planar projection is used; however, as shown in the model below, spherical projection provides a better result.

Once you have run this command, you will be asked to pick a point on your scene where the Gems Map will be generated.

After being created, you can scale and move the Gems Map using the Gumball.
