How do I use the centroid as a vector?

I found the centroid of my sketch with this:
The hint says it returns a vector, but when I try to use the variable "centroid" as a position in my sketch point, it says it's not a vector. and throws this error: Precondition of skPoint failed (value.position is undefined || is2dPoint(value.position))
Code for my sketch point:
Once the point is placed, how would I query the point so that I could use it in a loft?
var centroid = evApproximateCentroid(context, { //Finds the centroid of the selected face. "entities" : definition.selectedFace });

var pt = skPoint(sketch, "point1", { "position" : centroid});

caden_armstrong2 Member, User Group Leader Posts: 127 ✭✭✭is realPlane2 a query or a Plane?
You will need to do evPlane to get the plane object for the plane query.6

realPlane2 is the plane my sketch is on.
I'm still failing to implement it correctly. It throws this: Call worldToPlane(Query (map), Vector (array)) does not match worldToPlane(Plane, ...)
