4. Creation of Planes

Clicking and dragging the origin of the interactive axis system and placing it on a surface of a solid automatically creates a new plane. By doing this, you can pick the desired location of the origin of the new plane.

Once the system is placed on a point or a plane, you will be prompted to position the plan as this dialog box appears :

You have the possibility to:

• Rename the plane [1]

• Set the plane according to the view by clicking on the icon [2]

• Re-locate the origin of the solid by clicking on the icon [3]

• Invert the direction of the vector by clicking on the icon [4]. Especially useful while creating a plane on a cylindric surface (cone, cylinder, hole,..)

• Orientate the created system of axis by either changing the values or picking 2 points by using the [5]  icon to define the x- orientation.

After defining these, you can click on validate [6] and the created system of axis will appear in the list of planes.

The option used to change the size of this system of axis changed recently: ‘Size of interactive axis system’ is in Tools / Options / Display.
