Pick points from surface

Pick points from surface

Pick points from surface

(OP)
Hi Guys,

I am working with a surface model. I would like to pick random points on the surface to achieve x,y, and z values. These values will help us checking the part on the CMM machine. I hope this make sense.

Thank you

regards

Rodney

RE: Pick points from surface

Information -> Point
Make sure your point snap option is set to "point on face".

RE: Pick points from surface

And in NX 9.0 we've added an additional Analysis function, 'Measure Point', which will allow you to select a point on a face (or any point for that matter) and capture the X,Y,Z values of that point as Expressions, which will update when the shape of the surface is modified.
