1. On the Hull Design tab, in the Create group, select the arrow icon below Stiffener to show the submenu.

2. In the submenu, select At Plane.

3. In the 3D view, select the hull panels.

   

4. Press the Down Arrow, the available options appear.

5. Select A to Accept the selected panels.

6. Press the Down Arrow, the available options appear.

7. Select P to position the stiffener using the plane.
