<p>To create a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Plane</B></span> in the <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Main Menu</B></span> select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>New 
 Entity - &gt; Basic - &gt; Plane</B></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are three algorithms to <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><font size=3 style="font-size:12pt;">create 
 a point in the 3D space.</font></span></p>

<p><b style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The</span><span 
 style="font-size: 12pt;"><font size=3 style="font-size:12pt;"> Result </font></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">of 
 each operation will be a</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><font size=3 style="font-size:12pt;"> GEOM_Object 
 (face).</font></span></p>

<p class="whs2">&nbsp;</p>

<p class="whs2">Firstly, you can define a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Plane</B></span> 
 by a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Point </B></span>through which &nbsp;the 
 plane passes, a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Vector </B></span>giving 
 a normal of the plane and a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Size of the 
 Plane</B></span> (size of a side of quadrangle face, representing the plane).</p>

<p class="whs2"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B><b style="font-weight: bold;">TUI 
 Command:</b> </B></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><I>geompy.MakePlane(Point, 
 Vector, TrimSize)</I></span></p>

<p class="whs2"><b style="font-weight: bold;">Arguments: </b>Name 
 + 1 vertex + 1 vector &nbsp;+ 
 1 value (to define the size of the plane).</p>

<p class="whs3"><b style="font-weight: bold;"><img src="pics/plane1.png" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="312px" height="346px" border="0" class="img_whs4"></b></p>

<p class="whs2">&nbsp;</p>

<p class="whs2">Secondly, you can define a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Plane</B></span> 
 by three <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Points </B></span>through which 
 &nbsp;the plane 
 passes.</p>

<p class="whs5"><b style="font-weight: bold;">TUI 
 Command:</b> <span style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"><I>geompy.MakePlaneThreePnt(Point1, 
 Point2, Point3, TrimSize)</I></span> </p>

<p class="whs5"><b style="font-weight: bold;">Arguments: 
 </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Name + 3 vertices + 1 value (to 
 define the size of the plane).</span></p>

<p class="whs5">&nbsp;</p>

<p class="whs3"><img src="pics/plane2.png" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="312px" height="385px" border="0" class="img_whs6"></p>

<p class="whs2">&nbsp;</p>

<p class="whs2">Finally, you can define a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Plane</B></span>, 
 similar to the existing one, but with another size of representing face. 
 </p>

<p class="whs2"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B><b style="font-weight: bold;">TUI 
 Command:</b> </B></span>geompy.MakePlaneFace(Face, TrimSize) </p>

<p class="whs2"><b style="font-weight: bold;">Arguments: </b>Name 
 + 1 face + 1 value (to define the size of the plane).</p>

<p class="whs2">&nbsp;</p>

<p class="whs7"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><font size=3 style="font-size:12pt;"><img src="pics/plane3.png" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="312px" height="385px" border="0" class="img_whs6"></font></span> </p>

<p class="whs2">&nbsp;</p>
