Now we're ready to create an attractor point and measure it's distance to each of these location points. I'll drop in a Point by Coordinates node from the Geometry section of our node library. This node takes three number inputs to define the X, Y and Z coordinates of the point. And by default, those values are set to zero which is why we saw this appoint appear at the origin, the background 3D preview. While we have the option of plug in number data to these inputs and control the location of the point, we can also adjust the point's location visually by switching to the background 3D preview. Here we can select the point, and then click and drag any of the arrows that are visible to change the point's location along that access. If we'd like to see this point in the context of the Revit model, we can do that as well. I'm going…
