Place Node tool settings

SettingDescription
Method

Sets the method by which the node is placed.

  • Precision Placement — Places a node by a precision placement method available.

  • Place on Boundary — Places a node on an identified boundary at a specified distance from the boundary's end point.

  • Direction and Distance — Places a node at a predefined direction and distance from a data point.

  • DeltaXY — Places a node at a predefined delta X and delta Y from a data point placed on an element.

  • Boundary Divisor — Places equally spaced nodes on an identified boundary to divide it into a predefined number of segments.

  • Project to Boundary — Projects a node placement on a boundary at 90 degrees from the identified point of projection. If the point of projection is a node, you can copy and increment the identified node or move the node to the point of projection.

  • Place on Vertices — Places nodes on a selected boundary's vertices.

Label

Sets the number assigned to the first node placed.

Options

Depending on the placement method chosen, additional options display.

  • Copy — Copies the properties of a selected node and places the copy per the defined placement method.

  • Array — Places nodes per the defined placement method with incremental IDs from the Label specified.

  • Quantity — Sets the number of nodes to place.

  • Direction — Sets the angle from which nodes are placed.

  • Reference — Positions the node in reference to a linear feature.

  • Inverse — Positions the node inversely from a linear feature.

  • Distance — Sets the distance between placed nodes or a node and its reference.

  • DeltaX — Sets the X coordinate of the placed node.

  • DeltaY — Sets the Y coordinate of the placed node.

  • Divisor — Sets the number of segments in which to divide a boundary.
