Extended Intersection Point Application - How To

The Extended Intersection Point Application allows you to create points based on the expected intersections of two lines even if they are not connected. It is a useful point creation method that allows you to create a point at the intersection (or expected/extended intersection) of two lines. 

How to Create Point via Extended Intersection

1. Open Your Project: Start by opening any project on your tablet.
2. Open Application: Either from the home screen or from the side menu in CAD view.
   • If you do not have the 'Extended Intersection Point Application' in the home screen, you can select add shortcut and add the application shown below, or navigate to it from the navigation menu.
3. Select the Lines and Create Point: Select your two reference lines and create point

Point Creation

Select the two reference lines that you want to use for the intersection point creation. If extended, these lines should intersect; if they do not, a message will appear stating: "Invalid Lines". Once you have selected two admissible lines, they should turn red and a red point should appear at the intersection or extended intersection of these. 

In the menu on the right hand side, you can change the point name and type: layout or control point (see this article to learn and edit your point list in HCL).  You can click again on the red lines to deselect them. Make sure to click on the green checkmark when you're done to add the points to your drawing.
