Locate any point in your model to extract the XYZ coordinates

Updated over 10 months ago

Here I'll show you how to locate any point in your model to extract XYZ coordinates.
We'll cover the following:

Create Points

  • Click on the Measurements icon (Measurements Card will appear)

  • Click on the Locate Point icon to activate (orange) the feature.
    Click on it again to deactivate it (grey)

  • Click on the model geometry to start locating points in the model.
    Each time you click on model geometry the following will appear:
    1) A point icon appears in the model
    2) The point's X, Y and Z coordinates appear in the Measurements card.
    The point icon only works on model geometry

Change Point Name

  • In the Measurements card, hover over the point name and click on the pen icon

  • Rename the point in the text editor and click on the Save icon

  • Click on the X button if you wish to cancel the renaming operation

Change Point Colour

  • By default, all points icons have a light blue colour

  • Click on the paint drop-down next to the point you wish to recolour

  • Choose a colour from the palette or enter a HEX colour code

  • Click on the green Save button
    A new colour will apply to the point icon in the model

Remove Points

  • Click on the X icon next to each point to delete it
    You can delete all of the measurements from the options menu

Expand/Collapse Points list

  • Click on the arrow icon button to expand and collapse the list of points created.
    This option is particularly useful when dealing with a large list of measurements
