Work plane

Reset work plane

	Create New toolbar
	Draw menu > Work plane > Reset work plane
	Image properties

This function is used to place the edit plane back into the original floor plan plane of the current storey.

Work plane on surface

	Create New toolbar
	Draw menu > Work plane > Work plane on surface
	Image properties

Use this function if you want to place a new edit plane precisely on top of an existing surface.
After you activate the function, you must click the desired plane in 3D.

Tip

Curved surfaces can also be selected. The Edit plane is then placed tangential to the plan.

Work plane over 3 points

	Create New toolbar
	Draw menu > Work plane > Work plane by 3 points
	Image properties

Use this function if you want to place a new edit plane to pass precisely through 3 specific points in the room.
You need to enter 3 points for which the entry row or 3D capture function can be used. The first point defines the origin, the second point the direction of the X-axis and the third point determines the XY-level.

Examples of point entries:

With an entry line:
- X50,Y-100,Z50
- X50,Y100
- ,,50
- a45,d100,Z50 etc.

With 3D point capture mode:
- Any points of a Box, etc.

Select work plane origin

	Create New toolbar
	Draw menu > Work plane > Select work plane origin
	Image properties

This function is used to place the origin of the coordinate system on the desired point.
Given a point entry, the work plane undergoes a geometrical translation that places the origin of the coordinate system at the specified point.

Create work plane using perpendicular

	Create New toolbar
	Draw menu > Work plane > Create work plane using perpendicular
	Image properties

Use this function if you want to place a new edit plane to connect two points normally.
The first point defines the position of the origin of the axes of coordinates of the new edit plane. The second point defines the direction of the Z-axis by taking the connection between the first and second points as a normal vector for the edit plane.

Tip

In this process, the direction of the X-axis is set to be horizontal.

Change work plane

	Create New toolbar
	Draw menu > Work plane > Change work plane
	Image properties

In a separate window, the work plane can be rotated around one of the axes or moved.

This window is a docking menu and behaves in the same way as the layer, storey and views windows.
