Points

Point objects have only a single vertex. To create a point object, the user does the following:

1.The user either selects Object|Create|Point or clicks on the Create point object button Create Point Object button.

2.The user moves the cursor to the location on one of the views of the model where a point object is desired.

3.The user clicks the mouse button. A point object will be created at the cursor location. The Object Properties dialog box will appear. The Object Properties dialog box is used to specify the properties of the object.

If the Shift button is held down when the mouse button is clicked and there is a vertex on another visible object within 3 pixels of the cursor, the new vertex will be at the same location as the vertex on the other object.

Typical uses for point objects are to define the elevations of the tops or bottoms of geologic units, and to assign point values for hydraulic properties that will be defined using interpolation, well boundary conditions, and head observations.
