Work Planes

Hopefully I'm missing something really obvious, 

 

Work planes don't seem to extend beyond the object itself. (Makes me wonder why we need them in the first place, revit could just snap to a surface...)  Is there a way to make the workplane infinite: to extend outwards past the surface of the object it is tangential to?

Work planes are infinite. Once you set a work plane you can draw anywhere, snap to nothing, and they still on that plane.  Below is an example: I set the work plane to a surface of a wall, draw model lines outside of the wall and they are still host by that work plane.

What is your context? If you mean the workplane of a wall or floor then it is limited (like for a face based element) to the surface of the related element. If you want an unconstrained workplane that is what a Reference Plane is, an infinite plane with adjustable graphical "endpoints" to limit how much of it we have to see. Name the Reference Plane to make it easier to assign as a view's active workplane or hosting element.

NAMED Ref. Planes as Work Planes?

As others have said, work planes are "infinite" they are represented as finite as a graphic (when you choose "Show Work Plane") just to make it more clear to the user.

...unless you've resized the work plane. HA!

I think the issue is that I was trying to use spline through points to draw the line and it doesn't seem to respect the plane while all other line tools do...

Yes, a work plane's graphic representation can be resized, but it is still "infinite" for all practical purposes.

Spline through Points in a Conceptual Massing environment? Work Plane doesn't matter when using Spline through Points.

Then it depends on where you placed the points.

Yes @loboarch. Sorry. I see I confirmed your exact point.

@jfjacques : you're not by chance referring to Adaptive Point Work Planes?

The view you're working in can be assigned a workplane but the sketching process can also snap to elements in the view, for example if 3D snapping is "on" you could snap to something else and Revit will disregard the active workplane.
