Looks good. Ran into a bug testing along path, though. In the link below, 3D Point works fine with multiple sketches that connect to form one continuous curve. However, when trying to create the same points using a composite curve of the same sketches, it doesn't work.

Also, it would be handy to be able to automatically generate N equally spaced points along a curve. Manually spacing them works fine, but it gets tedious when you need more than a few.

Reviving this old thread. Is there a way to find the definitive 3D Point FS to use. When I go to add a feature and search for "3D point" there are many (mostly "... copy") and it's not clear which is the latest/best/...

More generally, is there any curation, namespacing, or  "releasing" of features to help users find/share with confidence?

Finding "official" Featurescripts can be tricky for sure and there is a lack of "curating". 
In this case there are multiple similar ones:
Here's the official 3Dpoints by Ovyl:

And here's an other "official" 3DPoint (MBartlett):

Then there's something like this for creating points from a CSV:

Here's the official 3Dpoints by Ovyl:

I am able to access copy and edit his points but am at a loss how to create them in my own drawing or merge and be able to use an edit point at the position I want a 3d point

I would say I am very impressed with Onshape in many regards however there are definite missing very useful features. 

I find the measure routine poor or else I do not know how to properly use it....and not being able to point a point and line in 3 space by xyz points is retarded.
