Two quick questions for a noob…

  1. Can I add a component between two wired components without disconnecting the wires? Like drop an ‘add’ on the wire and it will go between ?
  2. Using a panel to specify coordinates for a single point can be done like ‘1,1,1’, but what is the syntax for multiple points?

Thank you!

use series or point cloud to generate more than one point.

Of course you can add component inbetween, components are action commands and you can add how many actions between your first and last step of the geometry you want to achieve.

Thanks for the reply, but can you please read the questions again…I’ve edited them for more clarity. The answers did not connect completely with the questions

  1. Can I add a component between two wired components without disconnecting and reconnecting the wires? Like drop an ‘add node’ on the wire and it will go between ?

  2. Using a panel to specify coordinates for a single point can be done like ‘1,1,1’, but what is the syntax for multiple points using tex in a panel?

Thank you!

1 - No.

2 - you would need the coordinates of those points, you can create them or extract them, for example: point cloud.

you first need to right click on the Text Panel and deselect “Multiline data”
at that point you can write multiple lines of text, and each new line will represent a new thing

for instance

0,0,0
1,1,1

will create two different points

Thank you!

  1. Damn!

  2. No, I want to use panel to specify the coordinates. I understand the syntax for a single point (1,1,1). But what is the syntax for specifying multiple points? Like:
    1 = 1,1,1
    2 = 2,2,2
    3 =3,3,3
    ???
