Contact points determine where supports attach to the assembly. They can be generated automatically, or positioned manually. Automatically generated contact points can be edited in the same way as manually positioned contact points. The colour of the contact points is determined by the colour assigned to their Contact Point Group item.
To manually position contact points, or edit contact points that have been automatically generated:
- On the
Contact Point Group panel, click the
Modify Contact Points
button.
- Click the assembly at the position you want to add a contact point. A contact point is created in the colour assigned to the selected Contact Point Group item.
- Click a contact point to remove it from the part. If the contact point has a support:
- Delete the support mesh from the Project Tree; or
- Click
Generate Supports
to remove all supports and regenerate them.
