I'm trying to create a front facing plane rotated at 30 degrees, standing 90 degrees to and on top of a top plane.
I'm not finding any instruction in MySW that would explain something close to this.
Anyone have the answer ?
Thank you, Frank
Front-facing but rotated? You need a geometry refresher. You are trying to achieve something not just outside of SWs capability, but contrary to laws of Euclidian geometry.
I forgot to add there is no reference geometry behind the standing front facing front plane.
Rotate view to what you desire
use arrow keys for 15 deg increments and SHIFT arrow for 90 deg increments.
Select origin and choose "plane parallel to screen option"
I'll explain this another way. I have a bottom rectangle, I'm going to put another smaller rectangle on top of it. But the top rectangle is going to be extruded from face to back from a front facing plane. Not from bottom to top. And I have no reference geometry to pull the front plane off of. And the front facing plane has to be 30 degrees of the face of the bottom rectangle. I've tried making it parallel to screen but I can't control the angle. The plane has to be controlled.
Create a default axis thru two of the existing planes and then use the Axis and a plane that intersects it to make a 30 degree plane.

Maybe any hand sketch? Because "my English" say me, that you need D. Copperfield help, no SW.

So why not create reference geometry?
Create a 3D Line sketch in construction lines. With this you'll be able to control the location, rotation and translation of the plane you'll make. Also don't forget that if you define a plane by means of a triangle you can even lock down what side of the plane is back or front.

Post some images or your file.
F. Leatin - I agree with the comments, You need to create your own geometry with sketches and add a plane from that geometry. Planes can be a real challenge..
Can you hand-sketch or attach an image of the shape you're trying to make? Perhaps there's another workflow that is better suited for this.
Is it a homework question that set rules of not using reference geometry and there for prehibits you from doing any of our suggestions ?
If any of the help provided works for you then mark the correct answer.
If it didn't then you should elaborate in more detail what it is that you want to get and why the supplied proposals don't work for you or if it's just you wanting us to do your homework.
You can use top base face to extrude top element as cube, after make ful round top face (before you can make hole D 0,25) On next step make groove and hole D 0,75.as Cut Extrude.
If, for some reason, you are not allowed to create any new reference geometry, I would solve the problem this way.
Draw a rectangle on the top plane in the appropriate spot and extrude. Hopefully you can take it from there.

I'll now present it to the Professor. Thanks for the help scott.
Thanks for the help Glenn
I'm sure your suggestion would have worked but I realized I could do it another way. Thanks for the advice.
It seems that the top of your model is two objects. There should not be these (crossed out) lines and the vertical hole D 0.25 is too deep.
I will have to review the instructions again. Instructions stated all hole "Though all". I'll look at the other details also. Thanks
On the drawing you showed us the instruction is : "All holes are through"
English isn't my native language but I would parse that as meaning that the holes are simple straight holes and not as 'through all'.
If the later would be valid then you're model is correct but the isometric view on the drawing you showed us is wrong because it too would show the hole through the base of the slanted element on top.
