  1. Enter the XYZ coordinates in the edit controls or click on the icon ![AddPoint.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/AddPoint.svg) to click a [point](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-enteringpointprocedure) in the scene.
  2. Enter the XYZ values of the vector in the edit controls or click on the icon ![Normal1.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/Normal1.svg) to define a [direction](http://wiki-tdg.eu.hexagonmetrology.com:8090/display/Hlp2025x1/DefineNormalDirection) in the scene.
