Using SplitBody Feature parallel to xYConstructionPlane

[rocco.mayr]

I want to split a body using the SplitBody Feature. But I want to make the split with a plane that is parallel to the xYConstructionPlane 5mm over it.

What to I have to use instead of 'rootComp.xYConstructionPlane'?

# Create SplitBodyFeatureInput
  splitBodyFeats = rootComp.features.splitBodyFeatures
  splitBodyInput = splitBodyFeats.createInput(body, rootComp.xZConstructionPlane, True)

Well a workaround would be to move the body downwards so that the split line is in the xYPlane. But maybe someone could show how to create a plane for the SplitBody Feature.

One solution is to create an Offset Plane

Have a look here:

Create Plane from sketch profile
