To create a \b Plane in the <b>Main Menu</b> select <b>New Entity - >
Basic - > Plane</b>
\n There are three algorithms to create a plane in the 3D space.
\n The \b Result of each operation will be a GEOM_Object (face).
\n Firstly, you can define a \b Plane by a \b Point through which the
plane passes, a \b Vector giving a normal of the plane and a <b>Size
of the Plane</b> (size of a side of quadrangle face, representing the
plane).
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePlane(Point, Vector, TrimSize)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 1 vertex + 1 vector + 1 value (to define
the size of the plane).

\n Secondly, you can define a \b Plane by three \b Points through
which the plane passes and a <b>Size of the Plane</b>.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePlaneThreePnt(Point1, Point2, Point3, TrimSize)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 3 vertices + 1 value (to define the size
of the plane).

\n Thirdly, you can define a \b Plane by another \b Plane or <b>Face</b> and a <b>Size of the Plane</b>.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePlaneFace(Face, TrimSize)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 1 face + 1 value (to define the size of the plane).

\n Fourthly, you can define a \b Plane by two Vectors. The first vector defines the center point and the direction,
the second vector defines the normal to the Plane.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePlane2Vec(Vec1, Vec2, TrimSize)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 2 vectors + 1 value (to define the size of the plane).

\n Finally, you can define a \b Plane by the Local Coordinate System and the orientation (OXY, OYZ, OZX).
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePlaneLCS(LCS, TrimSize, [1, 2, or 3])</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + LCS + 1 value (to define the size of the plane) + 1 value (to define the orientation)

<b>Examples:</b>

<center>Planes created on the basis of the Global Coordinate System</center>
\image html plane_on_face.png
<center>A Plane created on a Face of another Shape</center>
Our <b>TUI Scripts</b> provide you with useful examples of creation of
