  1. Select a curve, such as a profile landing curve, a connection, or a geometric construction curve.

  2. If using a reference point, create the point with Insert > Control Point, Insert > Topological Points (Insert Menu), or other geometric contruction points.

  3. Click Point Along Curve on the Geometric Construction Palette.

  4. Select the curve again.

  5. Optionally, click , and select the reference point.

  6. In the Distance box, type a value.

    A preview of the point displays at the defined distance from the start of the curve or the reference point.

  7. If more than one solution is possible, click , and select the needed value for Track Flag.

    If changing the value for Track Flag does not give the needed solution, you may need to first create a point that you then select after clicking . The point can be created with Insert > Control Point, Insert > Topological Points (Insert Menu), or other geometric contruction points.

  8. Click Continue.

    Temporary geometry displays in the graphic view and as PointAlongCurve in the Geometric Construction Explorer.

  9. If needed, create additional geometric constructions.

  10. Click Close to return to the main command ribbon.

  • If you stop the command before clicking Finish, the software does not save the geometric constructions to the model. When you restart the command, the following message displays, giving you the option to recover the geometric constructions:

    "The previous execution of the command was not completed. Do you want to recover the 3D construction?"

    The message displays only during creation of an object and is unavailable when editing an object.

  • The geometric constructions are not saved to the model until you click Finish on the main command ribbon to create the model object.
