| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Type the name to assign to the created point or click  to use the next available auto incremented name. |
| Object | Input a line line, alignment or shape (pipe). |
| Chainage | Input the chainage along the line, alignment or pipe. |
| Offset | Input the offset from the Object. |
| Height Method | Select one of the following methods to input a height for the vertex: |
- You can create a point, offset from a line, alignment or shape (pipe).
- A negative offset indicates the offset is to the left of the object.
- The chainage is measured from the start of the line, alignment or pipe (shape). You can reverse the object to reverse the direction of the chainage.
- Only straight segments can be projected at the start and the end of the object.
- A negative chainage will create a point before the start of the object.
- Configure Distance Type in Unit Options.
- Chainage equations may result in multiple solutions for a keyed in chainage, in which case the Duplicate Chainage dialog will display.
