Showing a plane

This option creates 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.

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

To use this function,

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

• From the drop-down menu, select ‘Plane> Show Plane’
  

• The plane will now display as a colored rectangle.
  

• 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.
  

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