Description[edit | edit source]

A Part Point is a parametric point that can be created with the Part Primitives command. Its coordinates are relative to the coordinate system defined by its DataPlacement property.

See Part Primitives.

Properties[edit | edit source]

A Part Point object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data[edit | edit source]

Attachment

The object has the same attachment properties as a Part Part2DObject.

Base

  • DataX (Distance): The X-coordinate of the point. The default is 0mm.
  • DataY (Distance): The Y-coordinate of the point. The default is 0mm.
  • DataZ (Distance): The Z-coordinate of the point. The default is 0mm.

Scripting[edit | edit source]

See also: Autogenerated API documentation, Part scripting and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

A Part Point can be created with the addObject() method of the document:

point = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Vertex", "myPoint")
  • Where "myPoint" is the name for the object.
  • The function returns the newly created object.

Example:

import FreeCAD as App

doc = App.activeDocument()

point = doc.addObject("Part::Vertex", "myPoint")
point.X = 1
point.Y = 2
point.Z = 3

doc.recompute()
