Create parallel planes

The number of planes created. This must be a positive integer.

Note: If you set Include current plane to Yes, the number of planes includes the current plane.

For orthogonal planes, you can calculate the number of planes by determining the difference in the maximum and minimum X, Y, or Z value (depending on the orientation of the plane), and dividing the difference by the increment you want to use between the planes.

The offset distance between the planes.

If you use a positive value, the planes are created away from the view of the active plane. If you use a negative value, the planes are created towards the view of the active plane.

The increment value added to the name of each section, to create a unique value for each plane.

Note: Usually, you would use the same value as the Spacing between planes.

Optional. The text that is added to the end of the name of each plane. You can use any letters, numbers, and characters except \ / : * ? " < > | in the plane name suffix.

Also, the name cannot begin with a space, or end with a space or a period.

The name of the folder that the planes created are stored in. The full path to the directory must be less than 256 characters. You can use any letters, numbers, and characters except \ / : * ? " < > | in the group name.

Also, the name cannot begin with a space, or end with a space or a period.

• Yes: The active plane is included and saved with the Starting plane name and the Starting sequence number.
• No: The active plane is not saved in the group.

The location of the reference plane displayed in the bounding box. The bounding box is defined by DRAW 3D WORK AREA. Options are:

• in the middle of the plane corridor: The reference plane is at the exact location of the plane. The data displayed is that contained in half of the Spacing between planes distance to either side of the plane.
• at the near end of the plane corridor: The reference plane is at the end of the plane that is furthermost from the view. The data displayed is that contained in the Spacing between planes distance towards the view.
• at the far end of the plane corridor: The reference plane is at the end of the plane that is closest to the view. The data displayed is that contained in the Spacing between planes distance away from the view.
