Define a position using the pointer on the 3D view

Many elements of the tree ‘Data’ require to define a ‘Position’ (x,y,z) in the 3D geometry. Data can be defined:

  • by filling the corresponding cells (x, y and z) in the corresponding ‘Properties’ window;
  • by using the pointer. In this last case, user has to point the ‘Position’ element with the pointer in the tree:
    • Right click on the ‘Position’ element;
    • Select the ‘Define in the 3D view’ option in the contextual menu;
    • Then, in the 3D view, users point a position on a visible face; this will affect the values (x,y,z) to the ‘Position’ element. Users can then adjust values in the corresponding cell of the spreadsheet in the ‘Properties’ window.
