  1. In the Molded Forms task, select Insert > Topological Points Command.

  2. Click PointAtMinimumDistance on the Point Palette.

  3. Select a coordinate system.

  4. Select a plate system, profile system. member system, or surface. The girth distance is measured along this system.

  5. Select a second plate system, profile system. member system, or surface. This selection must intersect or be bounded to the first system.

  6. Select a sketching plane, such as a reference, that intersects the two systems.

  7. In the Method box, select At girth then along normal.

    A point appears on the sketching plane at the intersection of the selected systems or surfaces. This is the intersection point.

  8. Type a value for Girth.

    A point appears on the sketching plane along the girth distance of the first system. This is the girth point.

  9. Type a value for Normal.

    The point moves from the girth at a distance normal to the curve of the system.

    1 - Intersection point

    2 - Girth distance

    3 - Girth point

    4 - Normal distance

    5 - Point at minimum distance

  10. Click Finish.

    Point geometry is displayed in the graphic view and in the Workspace Explorer.
