plane [-length linear] [-name string] [-position linear linear linear] [-rotation angle angle angle] [-size linear] [-width linear]
plane is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
The command creates a sketch plane (also known as a "construction plane")
in space. To create an object (such as a NURBS curve, joint chain or
polygon) on a construction plane, you need to first make the plane live.
See also the makeLive command.

Properties |
|
-length(-l)
|
linear
|
|
|
The length of plane.
"linear" means that this flag can handle values with units.

|
string
|
|
|
Name the resulting object.
|
|
-position(-p)
|
linear linear linear
|
|
|
3D position where the centre of the plane is positioned.
"linear" means that this flag can handle values with units.
|
|
-rotation(-r)
|
angle angle angle
|
|
|
The rotation of plane.
"angle" means that this flag can handle values with units.
|
|
-size(-s)
|
linear
|
|
|
The combined size (size x size) of plane.
"linear" means that this flag can handle values with units.
|
|
-width(-w)
|
linear
|
|
|
