Creating lines or faces between points?

[Anonymous]

Ok here is my situation, I create a body, I shape it a bit and then make it hollow say on the lower inner corner, now I want to create structures in a specific path from the lower solid section to the upper section of the new gap created. I can click on or create points which would be ideal if there was a "Create line from points" functionality but that does not seem to be the case, every time I try to create a line to thicken after defining two points I have to pick a plain to draw on and I am completely unable to accomplish getting a line between two points, pre selected or otherwise.

Is there a functionality to basically click on two point/verities and then create a line between them to facilitate creating a face to thicken?

Hi @Anonymous

"I can click on or create points which would be ideal if there was a "Create line from points" functionality"

Are these points are on different planes?

If so sounds like you want to use "Include 3d Geometry".

Sketch>Project/Include>Include 3d Geometry 

If you need more help it would probably be helpful if you'd make a screencast and share the model you have.

Yes they are on different planes, say I made a box, cut out the center so it had a hollow space, then carved the body so it was hollow, then did a bit of fillet to round it off, and then carved the lower section so the inner lower section was cut in to the hollow area, so now we have an open space in the inner lower section, and I want to make supports from the bottom of the carved area to the top section of the carved area, however they are on different planes, I can click on the points I want to join but haven't been able to join those points, I will try your recommendation and hope that allows me to create lines to build from in my design.

So on the attached photo I kind of outlined what I am trying to do

I want to make the line from the outer edge's lip to the inner edges lip, then after I have the line, thicken it and create a support structure, this is for a 3D printing project.

I don't have time to do a screencast now, but don't think you need Sketch>Project/Include>Include 3d Geometry  now.

Should be able to place plane in middle and sketch your lines on it. In the sketch palette check the box for Slice to that plane so you can see where to place the lines.

Here is a quick screenshot.

This is a great success, Thank you again, you've just opened a whole new level of design for me.
