If no button is pressed in the sub-menu point construction, free mode In the free mode, the point constructions click point, click line and freehand point are active simultaneously. Free mode is active when no button is pressed. Free mode is active. In free mode, the point constructions click point , click line and freehand point are active simultaneously. Freehand points are located at the same position in the co-ordinate system in all sizes. Freehand points should be avoided and used under special circumstances, only as they contain no grading information.

If click point is active, only existing point objects of the construction can be clicked.

During grading, a point set with click point is always attached to the clicked point.

With click line , a point is constructed on a line, at the position on the line closest to the cursor. During grading, this point is moved relative to the length of the line. With this type of construction, it is important to check the base line: it should not be linked unnecessarily across corners. A point on the side seam is graded differently if the side seam is linked with the hem. In this case, the point is graded relative to the length of the linked side seam and hem.

With the variation relative length , a point is generated at a relative length on a line. The relative length in % relates to the total length of the line. The right principle For certain construction processes, it is necessary to define what is the start and the end of a line. The line receives a direction. Grafis supports the user with the so-called "right principle cursor" which additionally has a direction indicator. must be followed when clicking the line, as the relative length is measured from the beginning of the line.

The relative length can be entered as a fixed value or as an x, g or z value. If no value is entered, the cursor position determines the relative length. You can work with or without raster value.

With the variation partial length of a line , a point is generated at a partial length on a line. The right principle For certain construction processes, it is necessary to define what is the start and the end of a line. The line receives a direction. Grafis supports the user with the so-called "right principle cursor" which additionally has a direction indicator. must be followed when clicking the line, as the partial length is measured from the beginning of the line.

The partial length can be entered as a fixed value or as an x, g or z value.

If no value is entered, the cursor position determines the partial length. You can work with or without raster value.

x, g or z values can also be entered as values for the partial length.

With intersection , a point is generated as an intersection of two lines or curves. The lines and/or curves are to be clicked one after the other. The cursor displays when the first line is to be clicked and when the second line is to be clicked. The first clicked line is highlighted in colour. At stage , when touching the second line, an additional green circle appears at the position where the intersection will be created. An intersection is also constructed if both lines intersect only in their extension (500mm maximum). Ensure that the lines will actually intersect after grading. If the 500mm limit is exceeded, a warning appears.

The position of xy points relates solely to the co-ordinate origin, see geometrical basics. The points are not linked to any objects of the construction. They remain in the same position during grading.

The x and y co-ordinates can be entered as a fixed value or as an x, g or z value.

XY points should only be used for 'zero run constructions' in conjunction with the construction parameters x, g and z values.
