Setting Plane data

Plane can be used to set plane data.

Set one Plane

First, let’s set a single plane.

Right-click on Plane and select “Set one Plane”.

Click on the location

Click on the location where you want to create the plane on Rhino.

angle

Then, determine the angle of the plane.

determine the slope of the plane

Finally, determine the slope of the plane.

set

When the plane is set, the color of the plane changes from orange to white.

completed

We have now set one plane.

Set Multiple Planes

To set multiple planes, select “Set Multiple Planes”.

window

A window similar to the one shown here will appear.

In this case, there are three data on the left side.

three planes

This is because the currently set planes are the three shown in the image above.

select a plane

Select the plane you wish to edit, and the edit window will appear on the right.

edit

Here, you can set the coordinates and XYZ axes of each plane.

change the coordinates

In this case, let’s change the coordinates.

We changed the value of X from 20 to 5.

the coordinates have changed

Then, the plane also moves because the coordinates have changed.

As you can see, you can edit the plane information.

add

You can also add or remove planes from this window.

To add a plane, click on the green icon.

add a new plane

This will add a new plane.

delete

To delete a plane, click on the red icon while the plane you wish to delete is selected.
