Creation method

There are two options for creating a Plane By Normal node.

  • The first way to create a Plane By Normal node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • constructPlane , norm , pn
  • The second way is to select a Plane By Normal node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Vector > Plane By Normal

Steps

  • Create a Plane By Normal node.
  • Connect the origin of a plane to the first port.
  • Connect the Z-axis direction of the plane to the second port.

After creating a node, connect the origin of a plane to the first port, the Z-axis direction of the plane to the second port. On the output ports, you will get the constructed plane.
