Overview

A construction point represents a point in the model that can be used to aid in other modeling operations. For example, you may put a construction point at the center of a circle to make it easier to locate that point for performing other operations.

Instance Method Details

#position ⇒ Object

The position method is used to retrieve a Point3d used to create a construction point.

Examples:

model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
point1 = Geom::Point3d.new(10,0,0)
constpoint = entities.add_cpoint point1
# Returns 10,0,0
position = constpoint.position

Returns:

  • point - the Point3d object used to create the ConstructionPoint
