Scripting
A Part Point can be created with the following function:
point = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Vertex", "myPoint")
- Where
"myPoint"
is the name for the object. - The function returns the newly created object.
The name of the object can be easily changed by
point.Label = "new pointName"
You can access and modify attributes of the point
object. For example, you may wish to modify the x, y or z coordinate.
point.X = 1
point.Y = 2
point.Z = 3
The result will be a new location of the point with the given coordinates.
You can change its placement and orientation with:
point.Placement= FreeCAD.Placement(FreeCAD.Vector(0.00,0.00,0.00),App.Rotation(App.Vector(0.00,0.00,1.00),0.00))
