Nodes

Create > Nodes allows you to draw new nodes in the model.  To draw a node, simply move the mouse, point to an intersection of the grid and click the left mouse button.  You may also draw a node by entering nodal X, Y, and Z (optional) coordinates in the command window via the keyboard.  This is very useful if you need to draw nodes outside the grid interactions.  The command remains in effect until another command is selected, the right mouse button is clicked, or ESC is pressed.
