Description
The 
Part PointsFromMesh command creates points objects from geometric objects.
The resulting shapes are compounds of vertices, which can be used as reference to further create lines, sketches and faces with other commands, like those from the 
Sketcher or the 
Draft workbenches.
Usage
- Select one or more objects.
- Select the Part → Create points object from geometry option from the menu.
- The Distance in parameter space dialog opens.
- Enter a distance value.
- Press the OK button.
Properties
