Objective:
Learn how to create a coincident Plane from a CAD Face.
Procedure:
The Plane needs a Centroid and two non-linear axes (can't be parallel). We will utilize the Edges and Vertices of the CAD Face to create the Plane.
Note: The part we are starting with is already imported, and the face has been extracted from the part. Download the example file to follow along.
1. Add two Line Segment blocks to the workflow. Using control points found in the CAD Face properties, we can define the Line Segments to the surface.
2. The last step is to add a Plane block. The origin can be any vertex on the CAD Face surface. The axes are defined by each of the line segments' directions.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully created a plane that is coincident with a CAD Face.
