Defining Projection Planes

The projection plane setting within the New Feature Controls section governs how new features are built. If a projection plane is selected in this control, it will be applied to any newly created 2D feature. It provide both a visual indicator of the on/ off status of the projection plane and offers a means to select one.

Note that this setting does not alter any pre-existing features. To apply a projection plane to existing features the user should open one of the features, enable the projection plane for that feature and then apply that setting to the others.

The projection plane settings are as follows:

Alternatively a new feature with a projection plane can also be built directly from the Plane feature dropdown list.

Cloud Clipping Planes 

A Clipping Plane for cloud inspection is also available in the New Feature Controls section. Just like a projection plane, clipping plane selection can be enabled or disabled and the setting here is applied to newly added point clouds.
