Activating an Existing Work Plane

Activate an existing work plane as follows:

1. Select Constraints > Activate Work Plane. Work planes in the building model are highlighted in color.
2. Select the desired building component to activate the work plane it is on. For example, select either of the following:
   • A truss volume to which you have added parts from the truss library.
   • A wall to which you have added parts from the profile library.
   • A wall with constraints between its parts.
3. The dimension constraints added earlier to the work plane will be displayed.

   

4. If necessary, rotate the model until the work plane is perpendicular. Select Projection > Select From Model, for example, and select the surface of the building component.
5. Edit the components on the work plane. You can add and delete profiles, joints and geometric constraints.
6. Then, close the work plane. To do this, select Constraints > Close Work Plane.

Note

• You can activate a wall as a work plane, as follows:
  1. Select the wall.
  2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  3. Select Activate as Work Plane.
