Part Plane

Description
A Part Plane is a parametric rectangular plane that can be created with the  Part Primitives command. In the coordinate system defined by its property, the plane lies on the XY plane with its front left corner at the origin, and its front edge parallel to the X axis.



Create

 * 1) There are several ways to invoke the Part Primitives command:
 * 2) * Press the button.
 * 3) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 4) The  task panel opens.
 * 5) Select the  option from the dropdown list.
 * 6) Specify the properties.
 * 7) Press the  button.
 * 8) The plane is created.
 * 9) Optionally create additional planes, or other primitives.
 * 10) Press the  button to finish the command.

Edit

 * 1) To change the dimensions and  of an existing plane do one of the following:
 * 2) * Double-click the object in the Tree view:
 * 3) *# The task panel opens.
 * 4) *# Change one or more properties.
 * 5) *# The object is dynamically updated in the 3D view.
 * 6) *# Press the button.
 * 7) * Change the properties in the Property editor.
 * 8) * Change the with the [[Image:Std_TransformManip.svg|16px]] Std TransformManip command.

Example


A Part Plane object created with the scripting example below is shown here.

Properties
See also: Property editor.

A Part Plane object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data
The object has the same attachment properties as a Part Part2DObject.


 * : The length of the plane. This is the dimension in its X direction. The default is.
 * : The width of the plane. This is the dimension in its Y direction. The default is.

Scripting
A Part Plane is created with the method of the document.


 * Where is the name for the object. The name must be unique for the entire document.
 * The function returns the newly created object.

The is the user editable name for the object. It can be easily changed by

You can access and modify attributes of the object. For example, you may wish to modify the length and width parameters.

You can change its placement with:
