Previously in COMSOL 3.5, when creating a plot showing the numerical value at a reference point located on the interface between two surfaces, I would use a cross-section plot. From here, I was able to create a point plot from specified coordinates that weren't a physical node on the object. Now in 4.2, it seems as though I can only evaluate the point plot through nodes already present on the material. Is there anyway to input my own coordinates for evaluation regardless of whether or not a node is present?

Yes, you'll need to define a "cut point" dataset (in the Results>Dataset node) and then evaluate whatever quantity you want on that dataset.
