# Plane

To create a Plane in the Main Menu select New Entity - > Basic - > Plane

There are three algorithms to create a plane in the 3D space.

The Result of each operation will be a GEOM_Object (face).

Firstly, you can define a Plane by a Point through which the plane passes, a Vector giving a normal of the plane and a Size of the Plane (size of a side of quadrangle face, representing the plane).

TUI Command: geompy.MakePlane(Point, Vector, TrimSize)

Arguments: Name + 1 vertex + 1 vector + 1 value (to define the size of the plane).

Secondly, you can define a Plane by three Points through which the plane passes and a Size of the Plane.

TUI Command: geompy.MakePlaneThreePnt(Point1, Point2, Point3, TrimSize)

Arguments: Name + 3 vertices + 1 value (to define the size of the plane).

Finally, you can define a Plane by another Plane or Local Coordinate System and a Size of the Plane.

TUI Command: geompy.MakePlaneFace(Face, TrimSize)

Arguments: Name + 1 face + 1 value (to define the size of the plane).

Examples:

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful examples of creation of Basic Geometric Objects.
