I’d like to locate two points on surface up 35mm from the specific point as you can see the attached image. How can I find these two points?
You can project lines onto meshes - that would be a great start for this. Make sure your CPlane is set appropriately - if it’s based on the view, you can SetCplane-ToView. Then simply project your line onto your mesh, and from there pick the appropriate points on the resultant curve.
Hello- “up” in world or cplane Z or normal to the mesh at that location or? If the CPlane Z will do, you can set the CPLane origin at that location and make a Line > Vertical, 35 uints long, or set CPlane > Elevation at 35, and then work from that… posting a file would be best.

I uploaded my file. Thank you!
i’d use your base point as a center of a sphere that is 35mm in radius , then intersect that sphere with the mesh to get closed curves around the geometry i’m interested in. by defintion, any point on those curves is 35mm away from the center point of the sphere, regardless of direction
note: use MeshIntersect command
hint: at this point, you should use a plane to decide which is the required direction, and intersect that plane with the resulting curves to get the specific points
