Create a datum plane using coefficients

Use this method to create a datum plane based on an equation using four coefficients, a, b, c, and d.

Procedure

1. Choose Home tab → Construction group → Datum Plane.
2. From the Plane Type list, select Coefficients.
3. In the Coefficients (aX+bY+cZ=d) group, click WCS or Absolute.
4. Type the coefficient values for the equation in the a, b, c, and d boxes.
   • As you specify values in each box, a preview of the datum plane displays and updates based on the changing coefficient values.
   • For WCS coordinates, specify the plane using the equation a*xc + b*yc + c*zc = d.
   • For absolute coordinates, specify the plane using the equation a*x + b*y + c*z = d.
5. Click OK or Apply to create the datum plane.
