6 Point feature creates a new construction point.
8 Point is a construction object and it can be created in a part or in a partset. To create a point:
10 #. select in the Main Menu *Construction - > Point* item or
11 #. click **Point** button in the toolbar

19 There are 5 algorithms for creation of a Point:
21 .. image:: images/point_by_xyz_32x32.png
23 **By X,Y,Z** creates a point by three coordinates.
25 .. image:: images/point_by_distance_on_edge_32x32.png
27 **By distance on edge** creates a point on an edge.
29 .. image:: images/point_by_projection_32x32.png
31 **By projection on edge or plane** creates a point by projecting an existing point on an edge or plane.
33 .. image:: images/point_by_intersection_32x32.png
35 **By intersection of objects** creates a point by intersection of planes or/ and edges.
37 .. image:: images/point_by_geometrical_property_32x32.png
39 **By geometrical property of object** creates a point in COG or center of arc or circle.

48 **By X,Y,Z coordinates**
50 A point is created by X, Y, and Z coordinates.
52 **TUI Commands**: *model.addPoint(Part_doc, 50, 50, 50)*
54 **Arguments**: Part + 3 values (X, Y, Z coordinates).
59 The Result of the operation will be a construction point:
61 .. image:: images/CreatePoint1.png
65 **Point by coordinates**
67 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_point_xyz` operation.

78 To create a point, select an edge in a viewer and define a distance along the edge, where point will be defined. This distance can be defined by an absolute value or by a relative one as a ratio to the edge length. The direction of the edge can be reversed by the corresponded check box.
80 **TUI Commands**: *model.addPoint(Part_doc, model.selection("EDGE", "Box_1_1/Left&Box_1_1/Top"), 0.5, True, False)*
82 **Arguments**: Part + edge + value + is by ratio flag + to reverse flag.
87 The Result of the operation will be a construction point created on edge:
89 .. image:: images/CreatePoint2.png
93 **Point created on edge**
95 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_point_edge` operation.
97 By projection on edge or plane
98 ------------------------------
100 .. image:: images/Point3.png
106 To create a point, select an existing point or vertex and an edge or face. The new point will be created by projection of the selected point on the edge or face.
108 **TUI Commands**: *model.addPoint(Part_doc, model.selection("VERTEX", "Box_1_1/Front&Box_1_1/Left&Box_1_1/Top"), model.selection("EDGE", "Box_1_1/Right&Box_1_1/Top"))*
110 **Arguments**: Part + vertex + edge (or plane).
115 The Result of the operation will be a construction point created by projection on a plane or an edge:
117 .. image:: images/CreatePoint3.png
121 **Point created by projection on a plane**
123 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_point_projection` operation.
125 By intersection of objects
126 --------------------------
128 .. image:: images/Point4.png
132 **Intersection of objects**
134 To create a point, select:
140 The new point will be defined by intersection of the selected objects.
142 **TUI Commands**: *model.addPoint(Part_doc, model.selection("EDGE", "Box_1_1/Front&Box_1_1/Top"), model.selection("FACE", "Box_1_1/Left"), 10, False)*
144 **Arguments**: Part + edge + plane (planar face) + offset value + is offset reversed.
149 The Result of the operation will be a construction point created by intersection of objects:
151 .. image:: images/CreatePoint4.png
155 **Point created by intersection of axis**
157 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_point_intersection` operation.
159 By geometrical property of object
160 ---------------------------------
162 .. image:: images/Point5.png
166 **By geometrical property**
168 In this case the new point can be defined as a center of gravity of the selected object or as a center of a circle. To create a point, select the desirable object.
170 **TUI Commands**: *model.addPoint(Part_1_doc, model.selection("SOLID", "Box_1_1"))*
172 **Arguments**: Part + solid
177 The Result of the operation will be a construction point defined by object property:
179 .. image:: images/CreatePoint5.png
183 **Point created in COG of a cylinder**
185 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_point_object` operation.
