Creating a point in space with direct input of x,y,z coordinates

[mehtarajeshadesk]

It would be great to have a direct tool to place a point in space as per x,y,z  coordinate  similiar to autocad or civil3d.

and to create 3d polylines with x,y,z coordinates such as to serve as a sweep path or similiar works.

please enable property window to show X, Y & Z coordinates so we can put what we want in its correct position specially when working with masses & adaptive component

many thanks

I found it easy enough to alt-click the place origin marker command from the edit tab of pyrevit. Save that script with a new name, new folder etc. and edit it to your desire. Alternatively you can always make yourself a nice generic family  (a  simple sphere springs to mind), place that randomly on a known level put a coordinate annotation on it and then move it where you need it. The Z-coordinate can be managed with the level/host offset. Help Revit. No idea why basics like location, name or id get hidden from users and use.

A workaround for this is place a small 3D family or a model line segment, which is disjoined from it's workplane/host, then add a Spot Coordinate with Elevation indicator set to (Z) change the EW to (X) and NS to (Y).

Clumsy but it can work.

be able to add a point at specified coordinates, and to move it by changing the coordinates
