# Point

To describe a point, its position in space is indicated by its X, Y, and Z values.

**Syntax:**

```
<O T="Point" X="0" Y="0" Z="0" C="0" R="0" />
```

| **Name and Type Attributes** | **Label** | **Mandatory** | **Default Description and Value Attributes**                                       | **Other Attributes**     |
| ---------------------------- | --------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| N="C"                        | Chamfer   | No            | D="Chamfer: length of the chamfer." V="0"                                          | UT="Length" UC="Section" |
| N="R"                        | Radius    | No            | D="Radius: radius of the curve." V="0"                                             | UT="Length" UC="Section" |
| N=" AlignTB "                | AlignTB   | No            | D="AlignTB: Break transversely for alignment cross-Section? \[Yes=1/No=0] ." V="0" | UT="None" UC="Section"   |

**Example:**

```xml
<O N="PointObject1" T="Project">
 <!-- created by ParamML Examples on 31.01.2023 -->
 <O T="Surface">
 <O T="Point" X="0" Y="0" Z="0" R="15" />
 <O T="Point" X="50" Y="0" Z="0" />
 <O T="Point" X="50" Y="50" Z="0" C="10" />
 <O T="Point" X="0" Y="50" Z="0" />
 </O>
</O>
```

When using "R" and "C" parameters, ensure that all of them arranges the points in a specific order. To create a curved path between two points, the "radius" parameter should be added, and for a beveled edge, the "Chamfer" parameter should be added.

A line object has been added to reference the points with X=0 and Y=0. ![](https://openbrim.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/2158723073/image-20230131-091509.png?api=v2) To view this example in the library, see (<https://openbrim.org/platform/?application=inc&author=ParamML_Examples_OpenBrIM+Platform&folder=3D+Geometric+Objects&obj=objid8knr7s5pt9xi8h6rb46yeq>)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/developers/paramml-developer-guide/core-objects/3d-geometric-objects/point.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
