Creating form: dividing the plane unevenly

I want to create a form on a 123 by 170 rectangle. I need it to have 10 by 10 square faces. Obviously this is not possible as is, so I want two margins of 1.5 by 170 on each side which means I'm left with 120 by 170 central rectangle which can be divided. This should all be one form that stretches as one material. How to do that?

I think a diagram of what your trying to do would be helpful here.  It's hard to understand precisely what you mean from your description.

I'm trying to create a grid of faces as shown below (but with form faces, the below is just a rectangular pattern of lines). Each square is 10x10. I guess I can subdivide the plane and then move the t-spline edges one by one, looking for something less tedious.

Is this what you want?

No. I want to divide the plane (faces) of a form, not a sketch. I know how to divide a sketch as I have shown in the screenshot I provided

There isn't a great way to position the edges of a t-spline body they way your asking.

 

You could manually build it by using the "Face" command, and snapping the vertices to the intersection points of your sketch, but that doesn't sound like the type of process your looking for.

 

The other would be to create a "plane", creating just the regularly spaced faces, and then extrude each of the side edges out 1.5 to create the margin faces.  That would be the fastest way.

 

Since the final edges faces of the surface isn't necessary determined by these edges (after conversion to a Brep body), I'm wondering what the purpose of placing the edges like this would be?  It's possible a different workflow could be suggested if we understood what you wanted to end up with.

Using the rectangular pattern as a splitting tool will give you separate faces to work with.

Can you explain why you'd want to do this with a T-Spline ?

What is it that you want to model using this approach ?
