The points tab lists Point information and provides tools to operate on the points.
Each point has a number as Name, which is corresponding to the point number in
the later discussed input channel setting.
The visible column defaults to be checked. It can be unchecked, in case a point
needs to be disabled.
The X, Y and Z coordinate columns define the location of the point; while the XY,
XZ, and YZ angle columns define the orientation of the point. These are the angles
with respect to the angles of the component.
Color can be specified for each point, using the pull-down button at the Color
column.

The Direction column allows the selection of the deformation direction of the
point. While the last column of the Deform checkbox specifies whether the point
will show the deformation when the geometry model is used to run animation.
To add a new point, scroll down to the bottom, and click the empty line. To delete
a point, highlight the line of that point, and click the Delete button on the right top
corner.
Click Accept button will save the changes made and make the other tabs available.
Lines
Line tab lists the line information and provide the operation of lines. Each line has
a number as its name.
The line is defined by connecting two points, V1 and V2. The visible column
defaults to be checked. It can be unchecked, in case a line needs to be disabled.
