Reference plane

Hiroki Ota Feb 4, 2016 11:32 PM

Hi,

I made an inclined reference plane on the structure.

When I change a view point, that is selected by "Front" or "Right" or "Top" plane.

But, I would like to select the reference plane.

(When I select "Front" or "Right" or "Top" plane as a view point, the reference plane was inclined.)

So, I was wondering how we could select a inclined reference plane as a view point.

Best regards

Welcome to the forum. Click on the plane to select it, then click on the Normal To icon, which is available on the Standard Views toolbar . It can also be reached by your space bar, which will bring up the box shown below. That will put the model with the selected plane flat to your monitor.

  Normal To is also on the context toolbar that pops up on the plane when you select it either in the graphics area or FeatureManager design tree.
  
  Thanks,

    Thanks Jim. I know it's all over the place. I added it to mine in the heads-up display (at far left below). It's also in the View Orientation drop-down (which I think is there by default, but it's been so long since I customized that some of the stuff I can't remember what's default and what I changed). I showed it in the Orientation box above because that's the one place I'm sure is there by default.
