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
17 **By three points** creates a plane by three points.
19 .. image:: images/plane_by_line_and_point_32x32.png
21 **By line and point** creates a plane by a line and a point.
23 .. image:: images/plane_by_other_plane_32x32.png
25 **By other plane** creates a plane parallel to another plane.
27 .. image:: images/plane_by_two_parallel_planes_32x32.png
29 **By two parallel planes** creates a plane between two parallel planes.

41 A plane is created by selecting three points in a viewer.
45 .. 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"))
47 :param part: The current part object.
48 :param object: Vertex 1.
49 :param object: Vertex 2.
50 :param object: Vertex 3.
51 :return: Result object.
56 The Result of the operation will be a plane:

62 **A plane by three points**
64 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_plane_points` operation.
70 .. image:: images/Plane2.png
76 A plane is created by selecting a linear edge and point. It is possible to create a new plane perpendicular to the selected edge.
80 .. 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)
82 :param part: The current part object.
83 :param object: A line.
84 :param object: A point.
85 :param boolean: Is perpendicular to line.
86 :return: Result object.
91 The Result of the operation will be a plane:

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

111 A plane is created by selecting an already existing plane (planar face). There are following possibilities to define a new plane:
113 .. image:: images/plane_by_distance_from_other_24x24.png
116 By distance from the selected plane.
118 .. image:: images/plane_by_coincident_to_point_24x24.png
121 By coincidence with a point.
123 .. image:: images/plane_by_rotation_24x24.png
126 By rotation around an edge by a specified angle.
130 .. py:function:: model.addPlane(Part_doc, model.selection("FACE", "Box_1_1/Front"), 10, False)
132 :param part: The current part object.
133 :param object: A plane.
134 :param real: An offset.
135 :param boolean: Is reverse.
136 :return: Result object.
141 The Result of the operation will be a plane parallel to already existing one:
143 .. image:: images/CreatedPlane3.png
147 **Plane parallel to a planar face**
149 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_plane_plane` operation.
152 By two parallel planes
153 ----------------------
155 .. image:: images/Plane4.png
159 **By two parallel planes**
161 A plane is created by selecting two parallel planes. A new plane will be defined between them.
165 .. py:function:: model.addPlane(Part_doc, model.selection("FACE", "Box_1_1/Left"), model.selection("FACE", "Box_1_1/Right"))
167 :param part: The current part object.
168 :param object: A plane 1.
169 :param object: A plane 2.
170 :return: Result object.
175 The Result of the operation will be a plane created between two selected planes:
177 .. image:: images/CreatedPlane4.png
181 **Plane created between others**
183 **See Also** a sample TUI Script of :ref:`tui_create_plane_parallel` operation.
