You can create a plane surface by parameters, 3 points or fit points. Click View, Geom Surface to toggle the display of individual surface.
To create a plane:
Click Plane(Surface toolbar) or click Geometry, Surface, Plane.
In the dialog , select the type of you want to create the plane:
Parameters. Create a plane by parameters. The parameters contain a local coordinate system, start and end X, Y coordinates on the local coordinate system. Defaultly, the coordinate system is set as the standard global coordinate system. You can also sketch a rectangle plane onto any plane when "Sketch on Plane" is checked.
3 Points. Create a plane by passing through three points. You can also scale the plane by setting "Scale" parameter.
Fit Plane. Create a least square error plane by fitting three or more points. You can also scale the plane by setting "Scale" parameter. To sample all points from edge or face, check "Whole Edge/Face".
