Pick and Place Function
5–27
The Delete Vertex pick and place points are located at each vertex on the
window (1, 2, 3, and 4), as shown in Figure 5.25. These pick and place points
enable you to join the two sides adjacent to a vertex into one side, thus
eliminating both the vertex and one side.

Figure 5.26 (page 5–28) demonstrates the operation of the Delete Vertex pick
and place points in the following steps:
•
Step 1: When the vertex is picked at point 5, the vertex disappears, and
the two adjacent sides join into one side from 1 to 4.
•
Step 2: When the vertex is picked at point 4, the second vertex
disappears, and the two adjacent sides join into one side from 1 to 3.
NOTE: A polygon must have at least three sides; thus, when a polygon is
reduced to three sides, the Delete Vertex mode changes to the Move Vertex
mode, and the Delete Vertex mode becomes unavailable.
