Construct Plane through edge and normal to another plane

I am fairly new to F360 after many years with other product. Looking how to do a basic design geometry item:

"Create a construction plane, through an edge & normal to another plane. The other plane is constructed though 3 points which are parametric so I don't want to be entering angles."

Thanks

There is no single Construction command to do this directly, but it can be done easily:

 

First I name two entities; You want to "create a construction plane, through an edge (Edge 1) & normal to another plane (Plane 1)".

 

Start a sketch on Plane 1, then inside this sketch use Create > Project/Include >Project (or simply keyboard shortcut P), select Edge 1 to project it on current sketch plane with Projection Link on. Let's call this projected line Edge 2. Now finish sketch, from Construction use Plane Through Two Edges, select Edge 1 and Edge 2. The resulting plane passes through Edge 1 and is normal to Plane 1.

I tried that on a quick test, modified the parametric items & that plane updated as required. 

I can work with that.

Thanks for quick response
