Parameters

InterIndex

• Multiple intersections - other solutions may exist

• a surface, plane, and edge - the intersection index is the intersection point to use when there are multiple intersections; when the intersection index input is more than the number of intersection points, the index of the last intersection point found will be used

ProjOpt

True to project the plane along the sketch normal toward the reference surface, false to project the plane to the nearest location on the reference surface

ReverseDir

True to create the plane on the opposite side of the sketch plane, false to not

NormalPlane

True to find the plane normal to the surface for a conical surface, false to find the plane tangent to the surface

Angle

Value of the angular offset of the normal plane, relative to a chosen reference plane

AutoSize

True to automatically size the plane, false to not

Return Value

This method uses the current document setting for displaying of the reference plane as it is created.

The IModelDocExtension::GetUserPreferenceToggle and IModelDocExtension::SetUserPreferenceToggle methods, with swDisplayPlanes, get or set this display preference.

This method does not select the reference plane after it is created. Objects that are selected before running this method are still selected when the method completes, not the newly created reference plane.

This method returns a RefPlane object. You can use this object for further operations on the reference plane feature. Although just having a reference plane may not be useful, it is a feature, which is an entity, so methods available on those objects are available.

For example, if the reference plane must be selected, use IEntity::Select4.
