Colors of various dots - where's the documentation?

Fusion 360 seems to like to display a bunch of colored dots.  Can someone point me to the documentation that talk about what they mean?  I sure can't find it.  (What does stuff that's magenta tell me, for example?)

Thank you to post this!

 

Could you please share us where you see the magenta stuff, on EditForm of Sculpt or on Sketch project of Sketch?

 

Thanks

I too would love to see some documentation on what the various colors mean.  In my case the magenta items are in the modeling space. Would be nice to have a reference regardless of the space.  So far Fusion is really weak on writen documentation/reference material.

Hi!

 

I have the same wish about dot colours!

Here is the the part of the screen with points.

I'll try and answer.

Black dots are spline points, unconstrained spline endpoints are white..

Purple are projected

White are unconstrained.

I think the grey points are in a different sketch.
