Description
Create a simple parametric plane 10 x 10 mm, with the parameters of position, length, and width. By default, the plane is positioned at the origin (0,0,0).
Usage
The standard plane is created with its lower left corner at the origin point 0,0,0
.
To change these parameters, open the Location section and enter the desired values in the respective input fields, or click on the 3D view and select a point, the point coordinates are taken from the fields.
In the Direction menu you can also define a standard vector (X, Y or Z) normal to the plane, or click User Defined ... to open the dialog box that allows you to set a different carrier (eg. direction 1.0 , -1 creates a plane inclined 45° with respect to X and Z).
The properties of the object can be edited, either in the Property editor or by double-clicking the object in the Tree view.

Base
- DataPlacement (
Placement
): Placement of feature is defined by below angle, axis and position.- DataAngle (
Angle
): Angle of rotation relative to the below axis. - DataAxis: Defines the axis of rotation plane: X, Y, or Z. Defaults to Z axis, Z = 1
- DataPosition: Position X, Y, Z, relative to the origin 0, 0, 0.
- DataAngle (
- DataLabel (
String
): String name of the object, defaults to 'Plane'. User may rename it.

- DataLength (
Length
): Length is the dimension along the X axis The default value is 10 mm - DataWidth (
Length
): Width is the size of the Y-axis The default value is 10 mm

Scripting
A Part Plane can be created with the following function:
plane = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Plane", "myPlane")
- Where
"myPlane"
is the name for the object. - The function returns the newly created object.
You can access and modify attributes of the plane
object.
The name of the object can be easily changed by
plane.Label = "new planeName"
For example, you may wish to modify the length and width of the plane.
plane.Length = 10
plane.Width = 20
The result will be a plane with the given length and width.
You can change its placement and orientation with:
plane.Placement = FreeCAD.Placement(FreeCAD.Vector(2, 4, 6), FreeCAD.Rotation(30, 45, 10))
