Creating Workplane Tangent to Surface

The mode of creating this type of workplane is set by the option:

       <8>        Select Surface to which Workplane is tangent        

After that, you need to select the surface to become tangent to the workplane being created. This is done by the option:

       <1>        Select Surface to which Workplane is tangent        

This option allows selecting a 3D element suitable for defining a surface. This can be a face, a 3D profile or a simple body, a worksurface, workplane, or a flat edge.

Upon selecting the face, you need to select a 3D point, whose projection on the selected surface is to become the tangency point between the workplane being created and the surface (the projection is done by the shortest distance to the surface):
