The Points along builder generates multiple point features along a sketched line. You can specify the number of points to be created or the distance between each point feature. Additionally, you can create the point features at a specified offset distance from the left or the right of the sketched line.
This builder is available to feature templates that create point features when a group template is configured with the following settings:
- The primary template creates point or line features.
- The group template toolset on the Tools side tab is set to Line tools.
Parameters
Parameter | Explanation | Setting type |
---|---|---|
Position along the line | The number of point features that are created or the distance between them
| Required |
Offset | The distance from the left or right side of the sketched line at which the new point features are created
| Optional |
Vertex before offset | Determines the order of the build sequence at which the specified offset distance is measured for the point features.
Tip:For example, uncheck this setting to build point features that are coincident with offset line features created by the Multiple single part lines builder with the same offset distance. |
