Adding points to a 3D surface or local reference surface

You can find the Add point to surface tool on the context toolbar of 3D surfaces and local reference surfaces. Using this tool, you can add points to a polygonal surface or its edge. Where the program inserts the point depends on where the cursor is positioned when the context toolbar appears. If you point to the edge, the point will be added to the edge. If you point into the surface, the point will be added to the surface. If the new point is not at the same height as the surface, arrows indicate the inclination of the resulting partial surfaces.

For example, you can thus create a drainage for a slab that is associated with a local reference surface. All you need to do is insert several points in the local reference surface. It is not necessary to model a 3D solid. The shape does not change as long as the slab is associated with the reference surface. All quantities will be calculated correctly.
