PolyPlane

Adds a plane to the scene.

 

How to use

1. Click the PolyPlane icon or choose the Tools > Primitives > Polygonal Planar > PolyPlane command.

 

2. The program console prompts Local axes origin.

 

3. Position the plane local axes either by clicking and dragging in any view (release the mouse button to confirm placement) or by typing its XYZ coordinates in the console. Values must be separated by a comma, i.e. 1,2,3, and confirmed by pressing Enter. If you press Enter without typing any value, the axes origin of the plane will be placed in correspondence with the XYZ origin.

 

4. The program console prompts Dim.

 

5. Define the position of the vertex opposite to the local axes by either clicking and dragging the Dim. hotSpot or by typing the plane dimensions in the console. If you press Enter without typing any value, the plane will be created with Width 1 and Height 1. Hold the mouse button down after the click to interactively define width and height of the plane.
