CAD drafting Adding a Group of Points 6       Command line: NG_MESH_VERTEX_ADD_BY_POINTS

The command adds a group of points (geopoints, blocks) to the surface.

To add a group of points:

1.      Select one surface.

2.      In response to a prompt on the command line -

Select point type or [Points/COGOPoints/Blocks]:

select the type of points.

3.      In the Properties bar, configure the command parameters

CAD software Adding a Group of Points 7

Addition type

Project on mesh – Project points of the mesh surface.

By point – take current coordinates without projection.

Elevation source

The parameter is available when selecting the By point addition type

Selection of the elevation source.

For points:

·          Position

For COGOPoints:

·          Position

·          Custom property

For blocks:

·          Position

·          Attribute

Projection

The direction in which points will be projected onto the surface (WCS, UCS or Viewport).

Update points

The data of the point to be updated.

For points:

·          No – we change the surface, but do not change the source points.

·          Position – we change the surface, as well as the position of the points to a new one, projected onto the surface.

For COGOPoints:

·          No – we change the surface, but do not change the source points.

·          Custom property – we change the surface and enter the projected value of Z coordinate in the Custom property.

·          Position – we change the surface, as well as the position of the points to a new one, projected onto the surface.

·          All – combination of two previous.

For blocks:

·          No – we change the surface, but do not change the source points.

·          Attribute – we change the surface and enter the projected value of Z coordinate in the Attribute.

·          Position – we change the surface, as well as the position of the points to a new one, projected onto the surface.

·          All – combination  of two previous.

Add outside the mesh

Points whose projection does not fall on the mesh will be added to the mesh.

Rebuild TIN

If the parameter is enabled, the new and adjacent triangles are rebuilt for more correct work with the surface (e.g., for constructing horizontals on it).
