    Hi,

     

    Points are one of the fundamental construction elements for multibody models built in MotionView. Also, almost all the entities that can be created in MotionView need to use points either for defining their location or orientation. Therefore the creation of points is an important task in model building within MotionView.

    If you don't like using 'points' you can use Inspire to create your multibody model easily from CAD. Just use the 'Motion' ribbon.  It is very simple to create a functioning model without points. Then you can export it to MotionView (by MDL) and it will have points, should you want them.
