Point

To create points, you can:

•	For all space dimensions, right-click the Geometry node and add a Point node to the sequence and then define it in the Settings window, or

•	On the 1D Geometry toolbar Primitives group, click Point (). Or from the Draw group, click Point and create a point by clicking in the Graphics window. Also see Drawing Geometric Primitives in the Graphics Window.

•	On the 2D Geometry toolbar, from the Primitives () menu, select Point. Or from the Draw group, click Point and create a point by clicking in the Graphics window. Also see Drawing Geometric Primitives in the Graphics Window.

•	On the 3D Geometry toolbar, from the More Primitives () menu, you can also select Point (), which then adds a Point node to the sequence. You can then define the point’s location in the Settings window for Point.

When you have added a node or finished drawing the point in the Graphics window, you can use the following section to define it or fine tune it.

Point

Define the position of the point by entering its coordinates in fields labeled x, y (2D and 3D), and z (3D); r and z in 2D axial symmetry; xw and yw in work planes. To get several points, enter a list of coordinates in each of these fields. Separate the coordinates with commas or blanks.

Selections of Resulting Entities

If you want to make the resulting entities contribute to a cumulative selection, select a cumulative selection from the Contribute to list (the default, None, gives no contribution), or click the New button to create a new cumulative selection (see Cumulative Selections).

Select the Resulting objects selection check box to create predefined selections (for all levels — objects, domains, boundaries, edges, and points — that are applicable) in subsequent nodes in the geometry sequence. To also make all or one of the types of resulting entities (points) that the point consists of available as selections in all applicable selection lists (in physics and materials settings, for example), choose an option from the Show in physics (Show in instances if in a geometry part; Show in 3D in a plane geometry under a work plane in a 3D component) list: All levels, or Point selection. The default is Point selection. These selections do not appear as separate selection nodes in the model tree. Select Off to not make any selection available outside of the geometry sequence.
