Point Segments

Each Line Body edge is defined by a line connecting two points, forming a segment. The two points may be any combination of 2D sketch points, 3D model vertices, and PF points. Point Segment selection is performed in two ways:

  • Point Pairs: Each segment is formed by selecting pairs of points. For every two points selected, one point segment is formed.

  • Point Chains: Point Segments are formed in a continuous chain by selecting a chain of points. The first segment is defined by the first two points selected. Thereafter, each additional point selection defines another segment, using the end of the previous segment as the start of the next segment.

While selecting point segments, green lines will appear on screen indicating that a segment has been formed. To remove a point segment, simply reselect the two points that define the segment and the segment will disappear. The right mouse buttonContext Menus can also be used to remove either the last segment, or all segments. To lock in your point segment selection, click the Apply button. All point segments highlighted in green will now turn blue to indicate they have been locked.

The Lines From Points feature starts off in Point Pairs selection mode by default. To change selection modes, use the right mouse button Context Menus.
