Hi guys,

I wanted to know how I can retrieve the X, Y, Z coordinates of a point

thank you

Hi Tony77,

Someone wrote script for this "_PointCoordinates3".

Might do a search for that.

Hi Tony, one method is to use any drawing command that picks points and then watch what the XYZ field in the bottom toolbar shows when you snap onto it.

The script that Michael T. mentions is available here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7457.14 and instructions for installing plugins are in the FAQ here: http://moi3d.com/faq#Q:_How_do_I_install_a_plug-in_script.3F

Thank you so much guys

a last question how do you use the scripts? ..... what is the procedure to use them?
with keyboard shortcuts or something else?

Hi guys
sorry for the trouble but I have a problem, exceeded that of the coordinates of the points I need to measure the angles of the triangle that has the vertices with various heights in Z as you can see from the figure.
If I project on the plane C the figure can safely but I have noticed that I lose obviously the proportion of the triangle.
how can I measure the angles of the triangle with the vertices with the values of the different vertices?

Hi!

Now I've tried - also a possibility:
Max Smirnov's script "PointsOnCurve" still has a nice function to get coordinates of points,
and angles with script _Dimensions (Max).
