See also: Property editor.

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

Data

{{TitleProperty|Attachment}}

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

{{TitleProperty|Base}}

• X|Distance: The X coordinate of the point. The default is {{Value|0mm}}.

• Y|Distance: The Y coordinate of the point. The default is {{Value|0mm}}.

• Z|Distance: The Z coordinate of the point. The default is {{Value|0mm}}.

Scripting

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

A Part Point can be created with the {{Incode|addObject()}} method of the document:

point = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Vertex", "myPoint")

• Where {{Incode|"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()
