# Point

To create a Point in the Main Menu select New Entity - > Basic - > Point

There are three algorithms to create a Point in the 3D space.

Each time the Result of the operation will be a GEOM_Object (vertex).

Firstly, we can define a point by setting its X, Y and Z C oordinates.

TUI Command : geompy.MakeVertex(X, Y, Z)

Arguments: Name (Vertex_n by default) + X, Y and Z coordinates of the point.

Secondly, we can define a point by a Reference to another point and the shift of the coordinates of the new point regarding the coordinates of the old one.

TUI Command : geompy.MakeVertexWithRef(Reference, X, Y, Z).

Arguments: Name + 1 reference point + 3 coordinates defining the position of this point regarding the reference one.

Finally, we can define a point by an Edge and a Parameter indicating its position on the Edge. For example, 0.5 means that the point is located in the middle of the edge.

TUI Command : geompy.MakeVertexOnCurve(Edge, Parameter).

Arguments: Name + 1 edge + 1 Parameter defining the position of the point on the given edge.

Example:

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of creation of Basic Geometric Objects.
