Summary

Create a plane object.

 

How to Run

  • Ribbon Menu > [Feature] Tab > [Create] Group > Surface > Plane

 

Explanation

By Draw Method

Define a closed line to create a plane.

 

  • [Method]
    Select the By Draw method.

  • [Draw]
    Use the Sketch tool to create a surface on the screen.

Reference -

Click tab to manually input the length.

  • [Level of Split]
    Set the criteria for grouping the created planes into a single face.

    • None : All created planes are grouped into a single Face.

    • By Isolation : Groups only the created planes that share a point or a line into a single Face.

    • By Face : All created planes are turned into individual Faces.

  • [Auto Extension Ratio]
    When the start and end points do not match perfectly, the length is extended automatically to create a closed line.

  • [Option]
    Set the options to use when using Surface(Plane) feature.

    • Consider Inner Hole : Sets the application method when creating a region over another region.

    • Merge Colinear Edge : Sets whether multiple edges on the same straight line are merged into a single edge if multiple edges are created on the straight line.

Reference -

When the edge creation process is stopped, as shown above, multiple edges are created on the same straigt line. In this case, set whether to merge the multiple edges into a single edge on the straight line.

 

  • Merge Colinear Edge On : As shown in the example above, the edges are merged into a triangle with three sides.

  • Merge Colinear Edge Off (Default) : As shown in the example above, a rectangle with four sides is created without merging the edges.

  • [Select Edge]
    Select the existing lines to form a closed line and use it to create a surface.

  • [Level of Split]
    Sets the criteria by which the created planes are bound to one face.

    • None : All created planes are grouped into a single Face.

    • By Isolation : Groups only the created planes that share a point or a line into a single Face.

    • By Face : All created planes are turned into individual Faces.

  • [Auto Extension Ratio]
