You can create points to use as construction objects. Click View, Points to toggle the display of individual points/vertices.
To create a point:
Click Point(Curve toolbar) or click Geometry, Curve, Point.
In the dialog , select the type of you want to create the point:
Parameters. Create a point by parameter. You can also select a local coordinate system (LCS) . You cal also sketch points directly onto any plane by checking Sketch on Plane.
Project to Cur. Create points by projecting the selected point onto the selected curve.
Project to Surf. Create points by projecting the selected point onto the selected surface.
Edit Curve End. Edit curve's end by selecting vertex and freely dragging. The curve must be from independent edge or edge from independent wire.
a. A wire contains four curves. Two line segments, one circular arc and one bspline curve.. |
b. Drag the curves' end between arc and bpsline curve to edit the whole wire. |
Edit Ctrl-Pnt. Edit b-spline curve or b-spline surface by modify their control points. You can modify the curve or surface by dragging, adding or removing control points.
a. Select one bspline curve.. |
b. Drag one control points to modify curve. |
Batch Input . Batch creating points by inputting a serial of coordinates. It will automatically analysis the input text. Such as pasting "(23, 12.1, 1.0e-3) [123.00 3 8" into the text control, and click Apply. It will generate two points (23, 12.1, 0.001) and (123, 3, 8).
Tangent on Curve. Search points in the the curve which their tangent vector are the same as the selected line direction.
Two points found by comparing their tangent vector with the selected line. |
