This article explains how to use YZ Plane to create a plane formed from Y and Z axes.

On the Grasshopper, it is represented by either of the two above.

When you specify the position of a point, it creates a plane made up of Y and Z axes

Specifying the position of a point in the YZ Plane(O) creates a plane that can be made from Y and Z axes.

In this case, the points stored in Point are connected to the YZ Plane(O).

In addition to points, coordinates can also be input to the YZ Plane(O).

This time, a point at coordinates 100,100,0 is used.

If we input information on the origin to the YZ Plane(O), we can create a plane made from Y and Z axes like this.

If you zoom in like this, you can see that a plane has been created.

Let’s try using the plane created by YZ Plane

Components used: (1) Point (2) YZ Plane (3) Cylinder

Let’s try using the plane created with the YZ Plane.

This time, we will use Cylinder to create a cylinder.

Connect the YZ Plane created earlier to the Cylinder(B).

Enter the radius value in the Cylinder(R) and the length value of the cylinder in the Cylinder(L).

Now a cylinder can be created in the plane created by the YZ Plane.

Normally, a cylinder extending in the Z-axis direction is created, but this time a cylinder extending horizontally in the X-axis direction is created.

Thus, by using YZ Plane, we can create a plane consisting of Y and Z axes.
