7.6.2.2.2.  Type "Plane with 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 plane....

  2. Under Type, in the list field, select Plane with distance.

  3. Under Distance, select a value.

    When activating the option Other direction, the value in the field Distance is inverted and the reference plane oriented in opposite direction.

-> After confirmation via OK, in the dialog area 3D History, the new plane shows up with the name that was assigned in the dialog under Name. Per 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" via context menu command Select new reference.

[Note]Note

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