Creating Wireframe Geometry

Wireframe geometry is the geometry that helps you create features when needed. Creating this geometry is a simple operation you can perform at any time.

Two creation modes are available: either you create geometry with its history or not. Geometry with no history is called a datum. Please refer to Creating Datums for more information.

	Create points by coordinates: enter X, Y, Z coordinates.
	Create points on a curve: select a curve and possibly a reference point, and enter a length or ratio.
	Create points on a plane: select a plane and possibly a reference point, then click the plane.
	Create points on a surface: select a surface and possibly a reference point, an element to set the projection orientation, and a length.
	Create points as a circle center: select a circle
	Create points at tangents: select a curve and a line.
	Create point between another two points: select two points
	Create multiple points: select a curve or a point on a curve, and possibly a reference point, set the number of point instances, indicate the creation direction or indicate the spacing between points.
	Create lines between two points: select two points
	Create lines based on a point and a direction: select a point and a line, then specify the start and end points of the line.
	Create lines at an angle or normal to a curve:  select a curve and its support, a point on the curve, then specify the angle value, the start and end points of the line.
	Create lines tangent to a curve:  select a curve and a reference point, then specify the start and end points of the line.
	Create lines normal to a surface: select a surface and a reference point, then specify the start and end points of the line.
	Create bisecting lines: select two lines and a starting point, then choose a solution.
	Create an axis: select a geometric element, a direction, then choose the axis type.
	Create polylines: select at least two points, then define a radius for a blending curve is needed
	Create an offset plane: select an existing plane, and enter an offset value.
	Create a parallel plane through a point: select an existing plane and a point. The resulting plane is parallel to the reference plane and passes through the point.
	Create a plane at an angle: select an existing plane and a rotation axis, then enter an angle value (90° for a plane normal to the reference plane).
	Create a plane through three points: select any three points
	Create a plane through two lines : select any two lines
	Create a plane through a point and a line : select any point and line
	Create a plane through a planar curve: select any planar curve
	Create a plane normal to a curve: select any curve and a point
	Create a plane tangent to a surface: select any surface and a point
	Create a plane based on its equation: key in the values for the Ax + Bu + Cz = D equation
	Create a mean plane through several points: select any three, or more, points
	Create n planes between two planes: select two planes, and specify the number of planes to be created
	Create a circle based on a point and a radius: select a point as the circle center, a support plane or surface, and key in a radius value. For circular arcs, specify the start and end angles.
	Create a circle from two points: select a point as the circle center, a passing point, and a support plane or surface. For circular arcs, specify the start and end angles.
	Create a circle from two points and a radius: select the two passing points, a support plane or surface, and key in a radius value. For circular arcs, specify the arc based on the selected points.
	Create a circle from three points: select three points. For circular arcs, specify the arc based on the selected points.
	Create a circle tangent to two curves, at a point: select two curves, a passing point, a support plane or surface, and click where the circle should be created. For circular arcs, specify the arc based on the selected points.
	Create a circle tangent to two curves, with a radius: select two curves, a support surface, key in a radius value, and click where the circle should be created. For circular arcs, specify the arc based on the selected points.
	Create a circle tangent to three curves: select three curves.
	Create splines: select two or more points, if needed a support surface, set tangency conditions and close the spline if needed.
	Create a helix: select a starting and a direction, then specify the helix parameters.
	Create corners: select a first reference element (curve or point), select a curve, a support plane or surface, and enter a radius value.
	Creating connect curves: select two sets of curve and point on the curve, set their continuity type and, if needed, tension value.
	Create projections: select the element to be projected and its support, specify the projection direction,
	Create intersections: select the two elements to be intersected
