Adding a single point to mesh

Ashleigh1

I have recently upgraded to Archicad27 from an educational version.  I am trying to add a single mesh point to an existing mesh (not a contour).  I have the mesh selected, and the mesh tool highlighted.  When I click space bar and double click, it is coming up with the "New Mesh Point Box", but when I click "ok" nothing happens.  Has anyone got any tips on how to resolve this.  

Thanks!

On the odd occassion, I just draw a line, then merge the two points...

Thankyou - I have just clicked on the Geometry Method is set to "Polygonal" and this has allowed me to create a single mesh point.

THANKYOU!!!

The trick is to have the mesh selected, the mesh tool active and in 'polygon' geometry method.

Then just double click where you want the point and choose 'fit to user ridges'.

You can also draw a polyline and click twice on the last point.

That never worked for me in the past... I would click OK and would not get a point... I think that was back on 19...
