GiD - The personal pre and post processor

Entering points by coordinates

GiD offers a window for entering points in order to create geometries easily, defining fixed or relative coordinates as well as different reference systems - cartesian, cylindrical or spherical.
The coordinates of a point can be entered either in the enter points window or in the command line by following one of two possible formats:

  1. The format: x,y,z
  2. The format: x y z


Coordinate z can be omitted in both cases.
The following are valid examples of point definitions:

5.2,1.0         5.2,1
8 9 2           8 9,2

All of a point's coordinates can be entered as local or global and through different reference systems in addition to the cartesian one.

  1. Local/global coordinates
  2. Cylindrical coordinates
  3. Spherical coordinates
