A mesh node (‘node‘ for short) refers to the intersection of two ore more mesh lines.  The frame below consists of 4 points.

A point, will always result in a node in the mesh.

The same frame contains 19 nodes.

The number of nodes depends on the chosen mesh size.

How to show the point numbers:

  • Opt for a wireframe representation .
  • Go to the mesh configuration .
  • Click on  and select the option Point number. Hit ‘OK’ to close the window.
  • If necessary, change the font size and set symbol size to ‘0’ to increase the readability of the model.
How to show the node numbers:

  • Go to the mesh configuration.
  • Click on  and select the option Show node number. Hit ‘OK’ to close the window.
  • If necessary, change the font size and set symbol size to ‘0’ to increase the readability of the model.
 How to search for a certain point:

  • Go to the menu Select  > Point number.
