To create nodes

A model node is a point which occupies a coordinate position in space. It is used as a modeling aid, for example, to identify the end points of a curve.

1. Make sure that your modeling workspace is open, as follows:
   • If you plan to add to an existing model, make sure that model is open.
   • If you plan to create a new model, create a new study first.
2. Click (Geometry tab > Create panel > Nodes) and select whichever of the node-creation methods you plan to use.
3. Use the nodes creation dialog to proceed.
   • Use the appropriate Filter.
   • Keep in mind that the new nodes will be created in the active coordinate system. The values shown in dialog input boxes always reflect the active coordinate system.
4. Click Apply to create nodes.
5. Click Close when you finish creating nodes.
