Specifying The Plane Origin

You can specify the Plane Origin coordinates using three possible methods.

Set specific coordinates in the Plane Specification group box

  1. Enter Plane Origin X Y Z values.
  2. In the Graphics window, review the location of the Plane Origin point to ensure that it is correct.

Define coordinates interactively in the Graphics window

  1. Next to the Plane Origin X Y Z coordinates, click Pick.
  2. In the Graphics window, click an area on the surface of the geometry that determines the location of the Plane Origin.

Define coordinates using the Display Plane Tool

  1. In the Plane and Section Tools group box, activate Display Plane Tool.
  2. In the Graphics window, click and drag the Plane Origin Pick tool until the required location is achieved.
    The Plane Origin coordinates can be set as one of three Plane Normal points when specifying the Plane Normal.
