Plane Feature

Creates a GR-Plane feature that dynamically builds a plane from the associated points.

Plane Features report the following criteria:

Plane Fit Settings include the following specific considerations:

Nominal Direction The nominal direction of the plane can be adjusted using the Reverse normal Vector option. The normal vector can also be set dynamically to match the nominal line using the Align with Nominal check box. This ensures the Angle Between value reported is always the smallest possible angle.

Cardinal Points two cardinal points can be built using the GR-Plane feature. These include both the origin point and a point on the nominal vector.

Combined Operations

Dynamic Planes

The following additional dynamic planes can also be created:

Note that both cone intersections and cone cylinder intersections require special consideration. Additional notes on how these features are computed can be found here.
