#### Display Outline of Plane

The Display Outline of Plane check box determines whether or not PC-DMIS displays actual plane outlines in the Graphics Display window instead of the small symbolic triangle symbol typically used.

For example, if you select this check box and measure three points to construct a plane, the symbolic triangle for the plane will be sized so that its vertices are exactly where the measured points are.

Example of a constructed plane displayed with this check box selected

Note: Whether you select or clear this check box, existing outlines aren't redrawn; only planes created from that point on affected. To change existing outlines, you have to do it manually.

To switch the display of existing planes:

1. Access the Edit window.

2. Place it in Command mode.

3. Go to the command for the plane's display you want to change. For example,

PLN1 = FEAT/PLANE,RECT,TRIANGLE

4. Press the TAB key until you highlight the TRIANGLE or OUTLINE field.

5. Press F7 or F8 to switch between the available values for this field.

- TRIANGLE displays the small symbolic triangle symbol for the plane.

- OUTLINE displays the actual outline for the points making up the plane.

6. 6. Press the TAB key to see the result in the Graphics Display window.
