7.6.2.2.3. Type "Plane with rotation"

Create a plane with a specified angle based on the plane currently selected.

Select one of the base planes (XY/ZX/YZ) and click the context menu command Insert new plane....
Under Type, in the list field, select Plane with rotation
Under Angle enter a degree.
In the list field, under Turn around select the desired axis.
- X axis
  Example:
  
  The figure shows how the basic plane ZX will be rotated with 45° around the X axis.
- Y axis
- Z axis
- Custom Axis
  
  Note
  The option Custom Axis is officially available only for future versions and is only a test version as of V12 SP4.
  
  With the help of this function you can rotate a plane with a certain angle around a custom axis.
  The rotation axis is specified via direction vector AND a point of axis.
  -> The dialog areas for Rotation axis and Point on axis are activated (at the other options they are deactivated).
  Result is the selected basic plane (here Plane XY) rotated around the specified axis.
  
  Example: Basic plane XY rotated around the X axis and shifted in direction of Z axis

Condition: The creation of a reference plane can be made dependent on a condition optionally. For example, enter B > 10.

-> After confirmation via OK, in the 3D History dialog area, 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
	The 3D view immediately visualizes value changes and the position in the coordinate system.
