### Constructing a Perpendicular Plane

A plane can be constructed between supported features. PC-DMIS creates a plane perpendicular to the first input feature and passing through the centroid of the second input feature.

To construct a Perpendicular Plane:

1. Access the Construct Plane dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Plane).

2. Select the Perpendicular option.

3. Select the first feature type. This must be a line or an axis element.

4. Select a second feature of any type.

5. Click the Create button.

The Edit window command line for this option reads:
CONSTR/PLANE,PRTO,feat_1,feat_2

Constructing a Perpendicular Plane | A - Plane constructed perpendicular to a cylinder feature (CYL1) and through a High Point feature (PNT1). Note that CYL1 contains an axis element.
