Plane

Draws a rectangular planar NURBS surface from specified corner locations, two adjacent corners and a distance, perpendicular to the construction plane, or from a center.

Steps:

  1. Pick the first corner.

  2. Pick the other corner or type a length.

Options

Note: Planes are drawn with the same options as the Rectangle command.

  • Sets the degree in the u- and v-directions and the point count in the u- and v-directions.

    UDegree/VDegree

    Sets the degree of the surface in the u- and v-directions.

    UPointCount/VPointCount

    Number of points in the u- and v-directions. (Must be at least UDegree or VDegree+1.)

    PictureFrame

    Creates a rectangular planar surface with the specified bitmap image attached as a texture.

    Steps:

    1. Select a bitmap file.

    2. Pick a corner of the plane.

    3. Pick or type the length.

    4. The plane retains the same aspect (length to width) ratio as the image.

    Options

    Vertical

    Draws the picture frame plane vertical to the current construction plane.
