The Point element defines a CHM "point". As in Interactive Curved Hull it can be defined in a number of ways:
-
Explicit point by three coordinate values
-
Polar coordinates
-
Point on surface
-
Point on curve
-
Point moved along a curve
The Point element has the following child elements:

The point types "Explicit", "Polar", "OnSurface", "OnCurve" and "Moved" will be explained in the following section. Please see Explicit Point, Polar Point, Point on Surface, Point on Curve and Moved Point. The "Stored" element is a reference to a point stored in the data bank. The Stored element has one attribute:
|
ObjId |
The name of the referenced point object. |
|
Refl |
When set to "true" this flag indicates the resulting point will a reflected (in CL) version of the given point specification. For instance: <Point Refl="true"> <Explicit X="FR50", Y="3000", Z="10000"/> </Point> will result in a point where X=FR50, Y=-3000 and Z=10000. This is an optional attribute, the default value is "false". |
