Entering Point Coordinates
The most basic way to create a point is to explicitly enter a point by specifying its collection, group, target, and coordinate system. This will create a single constructed point in your job.
To Enter a Point:
-
From the menu, select Individual Point, or press Ctrl+P (default keyboard shortcut). The Add Points to Model dialog will appear.
-
Enter a collection, point group, and point name (or select one from the dropdown of existing collections or groups).
-
Select from the desired Coordinate Type at the bottom(Cartesian, Cylindric, or Spheric).
-
Enter the desired coordinate values, then click the Add Point button to create the point and continue adding more, or click Done to create the point and close the dialog.
Creating a New Point Group
It can also be helpful to build a new, empty point group. This can serve as a placeholder for future measurements and can be linked using relationships for automatic calculations as needed. To build a new Point group select Point Group from the Build Manually dropdown.
Specify a name for the point group containing the resulting points, then click OK.
