Hi @jcoon ,

To your question, yes!
When i need to offset a point or something alike i create a local coordinatesystem from an object, a line, or something similar. Then i can use the node you described to offset a point by the given directions.

Dann,

so you set coordinate system more like when use set a user coordinate system view in model space, start being 0,0

what is the format you enter the new point with? and how do you use the existing point in that format?

Thank you
John
