   The Construction Geometry dialog displays, Type is set to Axis and Method is set to Through Two Planes.

2. Select an Extent Type option to establish the end point of the axis.

Tips

• You can only create one construction axis at a time.
• Create construction axes when you want to reference an axis or edge that does not exist and is not one of the 3 default axes.
• The two faces or planes you select cannot be parallel to each other.
• Use an Axis Through Two Planes when you want to reference the extended intersection of two planes or faces.
