7.6.2.3.2.  Type "Plane at a distance "

Create a plane parallel to the currently selected with a specified distance.

  1. Select one of the base planes (XY/ZX/YZ) and click on the context menu command Insert new plan.... [Insert new plane...]

  2. Under Type, select Level at distance [Plane with distance] in the list box.

  3. Enter a value under Distance.

    If you activate the Other direction option, the value in the Distance field is inverted and the reference plane is aligned "in the opposite direction".

-> After confirming with OK, the new plane appears in the 3D History dialog area with the name that was assigned in the dialog under Name. By default,"Reference plane 1 " is entered. Further reference planes are numbered consecutively. If you want to change the reference for any reason, you can do this on the "Reference plane" using the context menu command Select new reference.

[Note]Note

The 3D view immediately visualizes value changes and shows the position in the coordinate system.
