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 DataPlacement 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.
Usage
Create
- There are several ways to invoke the Part Primitives command:
- Press the Part Primitives button.
- Select the Part → Create Primitives → Create Primitives... option from the menu.
- The Geometic Primitives task panel opens.
- Select the Plane option from the dropdown list.
- Specify the properties.
- Press the Create button.
- The plane is created.
- The task panel stays open.
- Optionally create additional planes, or other primitives.
- Press the Close button to finish the command.
Edit
See Part Primitives.
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
Attachment
The object has the same attachment properties as a Part Part2DObject.
Plane
- DataLength (
Length
): The length of the plane. This is the dimension in its X direction. The default is10mm
. - DataWidth (
Length
): The width of the plane. This is the dimension in its Y direction. The default is10mm
.
Scripting
A Part Plane is created with the addObject()
method of the document.
plane = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Plane", "myPlane")
- Where
myPlane
is the name for the object. The name must be unique for the entire document. - The function returns the newly created object.
The Label
is the user editable name for the object. It can be easily changed by
plane.Label = "new myPlaneName"
You can access and modify attributes of the plane
object. For example, you may wish to modify the length and width parameters.
plane.Length = 4
plane.Width = 8
You can change its placement with:
plane.Placement = FreeCAD.Placement(FreeCAD.Vector(1, 2, 3), FreeCAD.Rotation(20, 75, 60))
