Active Plane toolbox

The Active Plane toolbox contains tools that define and make selection of a construction plane for element construction.

The Active Plane toolbox is opened and by default initially docked in the top along the ribbon bar. It can be floated when pulled out in the view.

There are three predefined planes, which correspond with the three planes of the baseCS. Selecting them highlights the active plane in the geometric view. If additional planes are created, then they can be defined using the Active Plane toolbox.

Note: The (Construction Plane) defines new construction plane and makes available in the Active Plane's current selection options.
To Select
