-
In the Molded Forms task, select Insert > Topological Points Command.
-
Click PointAtMinimumDistance on the Point Palette.
-
Select a coordinate system.
-
Select a plate system, profile system. member system, or surface. The girth distance is measured along this system.
-
Select a second plate system, profile system. member system, or surface. This selection must intersect or be bounded to the first system.
-
Select a sketching plane, such as a reference, that intersects the two systems.
-
In the Method box, select At girth then along normal.
A point appears on the sketching plane at the intersection of the selected systems or surfaces. This is the intersection point.
-
Type a value for Girth.
A point appears on the sketching plane along the girth distance of the first system. This is the girth point.
-
Type a value for Normal.
The point moves from the girth at a distance normal to the curve of the system.
1 - Intersection point
2 - Girth distance
3 - Girth point
4 - Normal distance
5 - Point at minimum distance
-
Click Finish.
Point geometry is displayed in the graphic view and in the Workspace Explorer.
