plane [-length
linear] [-name string]
[-position linear linear linear]
[-rotation angle angle angle]
[-size linear] [-width linear]
plane is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
The command creates a sketch plane (also known as a "construction
plane") in space. To create an object (such as a NURBS curve, joint
chain or polygon) on a construction plane, you need to first make
the plane live. See also the makeLive command.

-position(-p) |
linear linear linear |
 |
|
3D position where the centre of the plane is positioned.
"linear" means that this flag can handle values with units. |
|
-size(-s) |
linear |
|
|
The combined size (size x size) of plane. "linear" means that
this flag can handle values with units. |
|
-width(-w) |
linear |
|
|
The width of plane. "linear" means that this flag can handle
values with units. |
|
-length(-l) |
linear |
|
|
The length of plane. "linear" means that this flag can handle
values with units. |
|
-rotation(-r) |
angle angle angle |
|
|
The rotation of plane. "angle" means that this flag can handle
values with units. |
|
