Is this what you are looking for?
Grid[{
{ptedgeL , ptfaceL, ptsphrL, ttencl},
{10, 10, 5, 3},
{"ptvertS3=", {{-75, -51, -45}, {27, 30, -9}}, SpanFromLeft,
SpanFromLeft},
{"ptvertS4=", {{-32, -69, -57}, {-31, -31, 59}, {-21, 56, -46}},
SpanFromLeft, SpanFromLeft}
},
Dividers -> All,
Alignment -> Left
]
I find it very useful to include the Dividers->All option to better
understand what Grid does, even if I might decide to remove it in the
end for aesthetic reasons...
