Creating Node at Intersection of Three Planes

 Return to chapter overview

 

Creation of a 3D node at a point of intersection of three planes is carried out with the help of the option:

<K>

Point is at intersection of three planes

 

To create a node in this mode, three planes are specified. To select the planes, use the options of the automenu:

<0>

Select first plane

<1>

Select second plane

<2>

Select third plane

The given options allow us to select any 3D object capable of defining a plane in the space – planar edge or face, workplane, LCS, etc. When selecting 3D objects, the user should pay attention to the state of filters of selection of the elements for the given options.

After specifying all three planes, the coordinates of a point of intersection of the given planes will appear in the properties window. After pressing the 3D node is created at the given point.
