Create a reference plane by 3 points (ordered)


  1. Do one of the following:

    • To create a global reference plane, choose Home tab→Reference group→More PlanesBy 3 Points .

    • To create a local reference plane, on the command bar for the current feature, in the Plane options list, click the Plane by 3 Points option.

  2. Select a point to define the reference plane's origin.

  3. Select a second point to define the positive x-axis of the reference plane.

    The distance between point one and point two determines the width of the reference plane.

  4. Select a third point to define the positive y direction of the reference plane.

    The perpendicular distance between the x-axis and point three determines the height of the reference plane.

    Tip:
    • The reference plane is associative to the three input points.

    • You can use QuickPick to locate points.

    • The Keypoints option on the command bar can help you select points for reference plane creation.
