    Hi,
    I want to make a tool using InputPoint. On mouse click I select a face, works ok.
    But I am not able to get the worldcoordinates if the face is in a nested component. I am puzzled as how to use the transformations. A simple example would be appreciated.
    Regards, Jur

      InputPoint returns the transformation, if any, for the face you clicked on. Simply apply that tranformation to the vertices of the face to get the real world coordinates.

      rwc = @ip.face.vertices.map{|v| v.position.transform(@ip.transformation)}

      Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.
