    -> If no connection point has yet been classified, the 3D view opens on its own. Open the context menu.

    -> If a connection point has already been classified, the 3D view opens together with a list of connection points that have already been classified. Open the context menu here too.

  4. Click on the context menu command Select connection point [Choose connection point].

  5. Select the desired connection point and confirm with OK.

    -> The assignment area opens next to the 3D view.
