  3. Define the rectangle as a box with a height of 20.
  4. Copy the rectangle with COPY SELECTION at position R2.

  5. Move the work plane (WP) upwards by 20 mm.
    work-plane-modify ws8-step02
  6. Draw the following auxiliary contour, this will be required for the later determination of the WP for the pipes.

  13. Define a box.
  14. Activate the solid model. (Ctrl+D) / shading
  15. Change from BASE PLAN DEFINED BY- HEIGHT to BASE PLAN DEFINED BY- SURFACE for the lower plane and click on the upper surface of the lower plate. (P1)
    Now change from BASE PLAN DEFINED BY- HEIGHT to BASE PLAN DEFINED BY- SURFACE for the upper plane and click on the lower surface of the upper plate. (P2)
