Quad Shape Component

The Quad Shape component creates a transparent square plane that’s oriented on the local Z axis. The dimensions of the quad can be edited with the Width and Height properties. The Quad Shape component is not a mesh, but rather a helper geometry that can be used to define areas for area lights, spawners, shape gradients, audio, vegetation, PhysX, and any application that can utilize the Shape EBus. For more information on using Shape components, see Shape components.
