(a) Generating a uniformly discrete set out of a dense [{\bb Z}]-module resulting from a d-dimensional projection in [{\bf E}_\parallel] of an N-dimensional lattice Λ consists of attaching to each N-D lattice node of Λ a (N-d)-D bounded volume σ parallel to [{\bf E}_\perp] designated here as an atomic surface (AS) and collecting the intersection points of these ASs with [{\bf E}_\parallel]. (b) To generate a periodic structure based on the same [{\bb Z}]-module, a shear along [{\bf E}_\perp] is applied that brings specific nodes of Λ parallel to [{\bf E}_\parallel]. These nodes define the lattice [L_\parallel] of the periodic structure in [{\bf E}_\parallel].
