Making a plane larger

[Anonymous]

I know this is [another, sigh] odd, elementary question but...   I'm using a constructed plane as a "marker" on my assembly and it is too small.  I setup construction points and did a 3-point-plane and it is all perfect, except the the extent of the plane is a smallish orange square and doesn't span the whole assembly.  Is there a way to "extend" the constructed plane so I can easily tell what parts of the assembly are above it and below it?

Hi @Anonymous , 

Thanks for posting! If you hover over an edge of the construction plane, it should highlight and you should be able to drag it to either make it larger or smaller! Here is a screencast on Resizing Construction Planes! 

Please accept as solution if my post fully resolves your issue, or reply with additional details if the problem persists.

Thanks,

Doesn't work for me. Hovering over the edges of a construction plane shows no green highlight and the edge is not movable, whether or not the plane is selected in the browser.

Currently doing this tutorial, which mentions dragging the corners of the plane, as opposed to the edges, but also doesn't work for me: https://f360ap.autodesk.com/courses/mechanical-assemblies-fundamentals/lessons/lesson-3-construction... (@2:25).

Hi,

resizing the planes forces you to exit Sketch mode

Thanks but the issue was that the "Selection Filters > Work Geometry" was unchecked.
