Creating a Point on a Plane

You can create a point on a plane at a distance from a reference point.

  1. From the Shape section of the action bar, click Point .
  2. Select On plane.
  3. In the Plane box, select a plane.
    If you select one of the planes of any local axis system as the plane, the origin of this axis system is set as the reference point and featurized. If you modify the origin of the axis system, the reference point is modified accordingly.
  4. Optional: Select a point to define a reference for computing coordinates in the plane.
    If no point is selected, the projection of the model's origin on the plane is taken as a reference.
  5. Optional: Select a surface on which the point is projected normally to the plane.
    H and V are computed from the directions belonging to the geometrical plane.

    If the plane is moved, during an update for example, the reference direction would then be projected on the plane.

  6. Click in the plane to display a point.


  7. Click OK to create the point.
    The point (identified as Point.xxx) is added to the tree.
