Free Points

Unlike driving points and hosted points, free points are reference points that are placed on a work plane. Free points display 3D controls when selected, are moveable anywhere within the 3D work space, and maintain their reference to the plane on which they are placed.

To place points on a work plane

1. Open a 3D view to work in if you are drawing in the Z axis; otherwise, open a floor plan view.
2. If you are working in a 3D view, select a work plane in the drawing area of the conceptual design environment.
   
3. Click Model tabDraw panel (Point Element).
4. Click Modify | LinesDraw panel (Draw on Work Plane).
5. If it was not selected in step 2, select a work plane from the Placement Plane list on the Options Bar.

   In 3D views, you can clear Relative to force the reference point along the bottom of vertical work planes.

6. Place points along the work plane.
   
7. When you are finished placing points, click Modify | LinesSelect panel Modify.

The free points can be repositioned if needed.
