Construct a plane by curve

Construct a plane by curve

This must be something that someone else has suggested.  Or I'm overlooking it.

If not here it is. 

 

When modeling tubular frames it can be helpful to be able to construct a plane by curve.

This would be very useful. If you need a workaround for now, create a sketch on any plane, from the project menu use Include 3d Geometry and select the edge your arrow's pointing at. Enable 3d Sketch on the sketch palette and draw a line between the endpoints of the projected curve and exit the sketch. Now you can select the shaded profile and use create offset plane to create your plane. If the closed profile doesn't shade it will mean the profile's not flat so you might need to create a point along the curve then use a 3 point plane.

Hi Mark, 

 

TNX for the comment. A plane at an angle or a plane along a path also works fine for this particular case. It is just a less rigid solution when things are parametric.  As is the projecting of geometry 

 

Best, 

Roy
