An abstract plane.
A plane has a position and orientation in space defined by its origin and axes. A plane is abstract in the sense that it is not part of the objects being drawn. A plane can be used to sketch on.
A plane can be created in several ways:
- you can use one of the default planes, e.g.,
XY
. - you can use
offsetPlane
to create a new plane offset from an existing one, e.g.,offsetPlane(XY, offset = 150)
. - you can use negation to create a plane from an existing one which is identical but has an opposite normal
e.g.,
-XY
. - you can define an entirely custom plane, e.g.,
myXY = {
origin = { x = 0, y = 0, z = 0 },
xAxis = { x = 1, y = 0, z = 0 },
yAxis = { x = 0, y = 1, z = 0 },
}
Any object with appropriate origin
, xAxis
, and yAxis
fields can be used as a plane.
