Mouse click on xy plane

[brad.bylls]

In the api, is it possible to activate the xy plane and have the user click randomly on the screen to create a 3Dpoint that can be used for sketches?

Hi @brad.bylls .

For the easy way, you can use UserInterface.selectEntity to select the element.

Return Value is a Selection Object, but it is the position where you click the mouse when Selection.point Property selects.(Point3D)

I think you can create sketch points directly.

I don't want to select an object.

I want to create a point away from any object (somewhere off in space on the xy plane) so that the user can see what is being created.

He will then move or constrain it with a joint as needed.

Thank you.
