# NamedPoint

A named point in 3D space. This object lives in the CADFEKO project. NamedPoints are defined by expressions. Mathematical operations cannot be done on NamedPoints, use 'Point' instead.

## Example

app = cf.GetApplication()
project = app:NewProject()

-- Create a coordinate (x,y,z) for each plane

-- Create a named point variable from the coordinate variables

pt1 = project.NamedPoints:Add("pt1", x, y, z)

-- Create a named point variable using numbers and strings

pt2 = project.NamedPoints:Add("pt2", x.Value*2, 1.1, "z")

-- Modify various properties of pt2

pt2.Name = "point2"
pt2.Y = "pt1.Y"
pt2.Z = x.Value * z.Value

## Inheritance

The NamedPoint object is derived from the Object object.

## Usage locations

The NamedPoint object can be accessed from the following locations:

## Property List

Label
LocalWorkplane
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

## Collection List

Transforms
The collection of transforms on the operator. (TransformCollection of Transform.)

## Method List

CopyAndMirror (properties table)
Apply a copy and mirror using a table defining the properties. (Returns a Object object.)
CopyAndRotate (properties table, count number)
Apply a copy and rotate using a table defining the properties. (Returns a List of Object object.)
CopyAndRotate (origin Point, rotationaxis Vector, angle number, count number)
Copy and rotate the geometry. (Returns a List of Object object.)
CopyAndTranslate (properties table, count number)
Apply a copy and translate using a table defining the properties. (Returns a List of Object object.)
CopyAndTranslate (from Point, to Point, count number)
Copy and translate the geometry. (Returns a List of Object object.)
Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
SetPosition (X Expression, Y Expression, Z Expression)
Sets the position of the named point.
SetProperties (properties Object)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.
