  1. In the Molded Forms task, select Insert > Topological Points Command.

  2. Click PointAtMinimumDistance on the Point Palette.

  3. Select a coordinate system.

  4. Select a plate system, profile system. member system, or surface. The girth distance is measured along this system.

  5. Select a second plate system, profile system. member system, or surface. This selection must intersect or be bounded to the first system.

  6. Select a sketching plane, such as a reference, that intersects the two systems.

  7. In the Method box, select At intersection of offset curves.

    A point appears on the sketching plane at the intersection of the selected systems or surfaces. This is the intersection point.

  8. Type a value for Offset 1 Distance.

  9. Type a value for Offset 2 Distance.

    The point moves the location of the offsets.

    1 - Intersection point

    2 - Offset 1 curve

    3 - Offset 2 curve

    4 - Offset 1 distance

    5 - Offset 2 distance

    6 - Point at minimum distance

  10. Click Finish.

    Point geometry is displayed in the graphic view and in the Workspace Explorer.
