Plane - 2 Points + Axis

Purpose:

To create or modify a plane defined by two points and a principal axis.

Prerequisites:

None.

Instructions:

• In create mode, you will be prompted to define two points. Any points already selected will be used as input to this function. You must also select the principal axis to use in the definition of the plane.

  However, if both points are of type "On surface" or in the intersection between a curve and a plane, belong to the same surface, and share a common approximate surface normal, the axis closest to this normal is selected automatically.

  The plane created will be defined by the line between the two points and the line made up by the principal axis selected.

• In modify mode, the plane definition may be changed. Select Type lets you change the plane into another type (principal plane, 3 points or 2 points and angle).

Options:

Not available.

Result:

• In create mode, a new plane at the given location will be created and selected.

• In modify mode, the selected plane will be updated with the new definition data.
