Position Using P-points

All the primitives have a number of predefined points on their surfaces known as P-Points. For example, a cylinder has three P-Points, P0 (the origin), P1 and P2 at either end. P0 is normally used for general positioning whereas P1 and P2 are used for connecting or positioning relatively.

You can connect a P-Point on the current element to any other P-Point in the design. The act of connecting both positions and orientates the current element such that the two connected points are at the same position and facing each other. For example, P1 on the cylinder connect to P4 on the box using Connect > Primitive > ID Point.
