The 
Part PointsFromMesh tool creates a points object from a geometric object. In {{VersionMinus|0.20}} the base object must be a Mesh object, in later versions any geometric object can be selected.
The resulting shape is a compound of vertices, which can be used as reference to further create lines, sketches and faces with other tools, like those from the 
Sketcher or the 
Draft workbenches.
- Select an object.
- Select the Part →
Create points object from geometry option from the menu. - The Distance in parameter space dialog opens.
