Point Depth Interpolation
Inserting points in a CAD environment requires the interpolation of a third dimension. The position of the point is calculated as a mean interpolation of neighbouring screen points, relative to the view point, e.g.
For example, suppose the Design window's view plane is horizontal at an elevation of zero. Suppose also there is a string with each of its Z coordinates at 10. If a point is inserted then its Z coordinate will be added at an elevation of 10.
