  1. Click PointBySurfaces on the Geometric Construction Palette.

  2. Select a surface, reference plane, or plate system.

  3. Select a surface, reference plane, or plate system intersecting the first surface.

  4. Select a surface, reference plane, or plate system intersecting the first and second surfaces, and forming a corner.

    A preview of the point displays at the intersection. In the example below, the point is at the intersection of two plate systems and a reference plane.

  5. If more than one solution is possible, click , and select the needed value for Track Flag.

If changing the value for Track Flag does not give the needed solution, you may need to first create a point that you then select after clicking . The point can be created with Insert > Control Point, Insert > Topological Points (Insert Menu), or other geometric contruction points.

  1. Click Continue.

    Temporary geometry displays in the graphic view and as PointBySurfaces in the Geometric Construction Explorer.

  2. If needed, create additional geometric constructions.

  3. Click Close to return to the main command ribbon.

  • If you stop the command before clicking Finish, the software does not save the geometric constructions to the model. When you restart the command, the following message displays, giving you the option to recover the geometric constructions:

    "The previous execution of the command was not completed. Do you want to recover the 3D construction?"

    The message displays only during creation of an object and is unavailable when editing an object.

  • The geometric constructions are not saved to the model until you click Finish on the main command ribbon to create the model object.
