This mode allows you to create, for example, XYZ-type annotations attached to selected points or features.

First, you must select the coordinates to extract (see: Selecting the Coordinates to Extract)

For example, we'll use the point or vertex selection mode, and we'll enable all the selection filters.


 


Then, simply select an arc or a vertex, for example, to automatically create an associative 3D annotation; this means that if the model changes, the annotations are automatically updated.


 


Next, you must validate the function:


 


The tool then creates a Macro Feature at the bottom of the creation tree:


 


Any change to the geometry will then trigger an update to the coordinates without requiring the function to be re-edited, thanks to this Macro Feature.

It is still possible to edit the function to add an annotation or change the options, for example.

Simply right-click on the function: GetCoordinates3D and choose: Edit function .
