6 Plane feature creates a new constructive plane.
8 Plane is a construction object that can be created in a part or in a partset. To create a plane:
10 #. select in the Main Menu *Construction - > Plane* item or
11 #. click |plane_button.icon| **Point** button in the toolbar
13 There are 4 algorithms for creation of a Plane:
15 .. image:: images/plane_by_three_points_32x32.png
19 **By three points** creates a plane by three points.
21 .. image:: images/plane_by_line_and_point_32x32.png
25 **By line and point** creates a plane by a line and a point.
27 .. image:: images/plane_by_other_plane_32x32.png
31 **By other plane** creates a plane parallel to another plane.
33 .. image:: images/plane_by_two_parallel_planes_32x32.png
37 **By two parallel planes** creates a plane between two parallel planes.

50 A plane is created by selecting three points in a viewer.
54 .. py:function:: model.addPlane(Part_doc, model.selection("VERTEX", "Box_1_1/Back&Box_1_1/Left&Box_1_1/Top"), model.selection("VERTEX", "Box_1_1/Front&Box_1_1/Right&Box_1_1/Top"), model.selection("VERTEX", "Box_1_1/Front&Box_1_1/Left&Box_1_1/Bottom"))
56 :param part: The current part object.
57 :param object: Vertex 1.
58 :param object: Vertex 2.
59 :param object: Vertex 3.
60 :return: Result object.
65 The Result of the operation will be a plane:

71 **A plane by three points**
73 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_plane_points` operation.

85 A plane is created by selecting a linear edge and point. It is possible to create a new plane perpendicular to the selected edge.
89 .. py:function:: model.addPlane(Part_doc, model.selection("EDGE", "Box_1_1/Left&Box_1_1/Top"), model.selection("VERTEX", "Box_1_1/Front&Box_1_1/Right&Box_1_1/Bottom"), False)
91 :param part: The current part object.
92 :param object: A line.
93 :param object: A point.
94 :param boolean: Is perpendicular to line.
95 :return: Result object.
100 The Result of the operation will be a plane:

108 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_plane_line` operation.

120 A plane is created by selecting an already existing plane (planar face). There are following possibilities to define a new plane:
122 .. image:: images/plane_by_distance_from_other_24x24.png
126 By distance from the selected plane.
128 .. image:: images/plane_by_coincident_to_point_24x24.png
132 By coincidence with a point.
134 .. image:: images/plane_by_rotation_24x24.png
138 By rotation around an edge by a specified angle.
142 .. py:function:: model.addPlane(Part_doc, model.selection("FACE", "Box_1_1/Front"), 10, False)
144 :param part: The current part object.
145 :param object: A plane.
146 :param real: An offset.
147 :param boolean: Is reverse.
148 :return: Result object.
153 The Result of the operation will be a plane parallel to already existing one:
155 .. image:: images/CreatedPlane3.png
159 **Plane parallel to a planar face**
161 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_plane_plane` operation.
164 By two parallel planes
165 ----------------------
167 .. image:: images/Plane4.png
171 **By two parallel planes**
173 A plane is created by selecting two parallel planes. A new plane will be defined between them.
177 .. py:function:: model.addPlane(Part_doc, model.selection("FACE", "Box_1_1/Left"), model.selection("FACE", "Box_1_1/Right"))
179 :param part: The current part object.
180 :param object: A plane 1.
181 :param object: A plane 2.
182 :return: Result object.
187 The Result of the operation will be a plane created between two selected planes:

193 **Plane created between others**
195 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_plane_parallel` operation.
