Constructing a Cast Plane

A plane can be constructed by changing any feature into a plane. PC-DMIS constructs the plane at the centroid of the input feature.

To construct a cast plane:

1. Open the Construct Plane dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Plane).

2. From the Method list, select the Cast option.

3. From the Feature list, select one feature of any type.

4. From the Display area, select how you want PC-DMIS to display the constructed plane. For details, see the "Using the Display Area" topic in this documentation.

5. If you want to change the feature theoretical values, select the Feature theoreticals check box and type in the values. For details, see the "Specifying Feature Theoreticals" topic in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.

6. Click the Create button.

The Edit window command line for this option would read:
