Extract Points

The ExtractPt command places point objects at curve control points or edit point locations, surface and text control point locations, polygon mesh vertices, and so on.

Input

Basically all object types
Polysurface face and edge (Sub-selected)
Mesh/SubD face, edge, and vertex (Sub-selected)

Different vertices are extracted from smooth and flat SubDs.

Steps

Select curves, surfaces, or polygon mesh objects.
Rhino creates point objects for every control point in the object.

To extract selected points only

Turn on the control points or the edit points on an object.
Select the control or edit points to duplicate.

Command-line options
OutputLayer	Specifies the layer for the results of the command. Current Places the results on the current layer. Input Places the results on the same layer as the input curve. Note: If the input object is in a model that is attached using Worksession, the object will be placed on the current layer. TargetObject Places the results on the same layer as the target surface.
Output	Points Extracts individual point objects. PointCloud Extracts points into a point cloud object.
SubCrv	Type subcrv to select part of a curve as input.
