Extraxt point coordinates from Design Modeler

  Hello Everyone,
  Is there a way to extract in a file (for example .txt) the x, y and z coordinates of a set of selected points from Design Modeler?
  
  In the attached image, you can se a sliced blade. By using the "Edge Split" command, I divided the airfoil in more points. I would like to quickly obtain the coordinates of each of these points (and any others I might obtain subsequently for other sections) to avoid reading and annotating the coordinates for each point one at a time.
  Thank you 😀

  Hi N.M
  If you want to export the coordinates of the blade at each span there is a tool called export points. This is available with a BladeModeler license. This will enable you to export all the points on the boundaries of cross section at different span levels.
  Or else you might have to use the spaceclaim 'curve table' feature to extract the coordinates values of points.
