Projecting Points Radially from a Working Frame Axis

You can also project points radially from a coordinate frame axis. Here, one of the axes of the working coordinate frame serves as the axis of a cylindrical coordinate system, and the points are projected out radially from that axis until they intersect with one or more surfaces.

To Project Radially from a Working Coordinate Frame Axis:

  1. From the menu, select Construct> New Points> Project Points Radially from Working Frame Axis.

  2. When prompted, pick the surfaces to project to.

  3. Select the points you’d like to project.

  4. When the Select Axis dialog appears, choose the axis from which to project radially.

  5. The Point Naming dialog will appear. Enter or select the desired group to contain the projected points. In the Add Prefix or Add Suffix field, enter a prefix or suffix that you’d like to attach to the point names, then click OK.
