Construct Objects From Surface Faces - Runtime Select

This command provides a method to prompt an operator to interact directly with CAD surfaces for the purpose of building primitive geometric shapes (lines, circles, slots, planes, cylinders, spheres, cones) or points (circle center points, surface points or vertex points). Select the Any method to present the user with a dialog for type selection. The Point Offset entry provides a means to offset points relative to the selected surface (works with center points by shifting the point along the cylinder axis and with surface points by shifting the point along the surface normal by the entered value).
