Geometry of Points
Method Introduced:
Use the method wfcGeometry.WPoint.GetCoordinates to retrieve the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the specified point.
The method wfcSolid.WSolid.ProjectPoint projects a point normal on the solid with in the specified maximum distance, and returns the surface where the point is projected along with the UV parameters of the surface as a WSolid.ProjectionInfo object.
* 
The method wfcSolid.WSolid.ProjectPoint is supported only for parts.
The method wfcSolid.ProjectionInfo.GetSurface returns the surface on which the specified point has been projected.
Use the method wfcSolid.ProjectionInfo.GetUVParam to get the UV point on the surface where the specified point has been projected.
Use the method wfcPart.WPart.FindGeometry to determine the surfaces or edges on which the specified point is located.
* 
This method does not return the neighboring surfaces, if the specified point lies on an edge.
Use the method wfcGeometry.WPoint.FindIntolerance to determine if two points are co-incident, that is, whether the distance between two points is within theCreo tolerances.
Use the method wfcGeometry.WPoint.GetCoordinates to retrieve the X, Y and Z coordinates of the specified point.
The method wfcGeometry.WPointTolerance.GetTolerance retrieves the amount by which the distance between two points exceeds tolerance.
The method wfcGeometry.WPointTolerance.GetWithinTolerance returns true if distance between points is within tolerance and false if not.
