Command Overview

Creates a point at the mid-point of a selected string segment. You can pre-select string data to constrain the strings into which points can be added, otherwise, any strings can be modified.

Point Depth Interpolation

Inserting points in a 2D graphical environment (computer screen) when working in 3D space, requires the interpolation of a third dimension. The position of the point is calculated as a mean interpolation of neighbouring screen points, for example.

For example, suppose the 3D 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.

Command steps:

Select the required string.
Run the command.
Click to place the new points.
Click Done.
