Showing a plane

FlexiCAD provides the option to see a visual representation of a plane as a rectangle in your measurement file. This function can be useful for visually verifying that a plane is set properly, especially in projects with multiple planes.

Watch the video tutorial here:

*This tool does not create a permanent object, and the visual representation of the plane is removed by using the ‘Escape’ key.

To use this function,

1. In the Project Explorer, Right click on the 2D folder of which you wish to see the plane.
   
   

2. From the drop down menu, select ‘Plane> Show Plane’
   

3. The plane will now display as a coloured rectangle.
   

4. You may navigate to the parent 3D folder or Project folder containing the 2D folder and manipulate the 3D view using the Dynamic View tool to visualize your plane.
   

5. To remove the visual representation of the plane, press ‘Escape’ or cancel.
