Planes
SolidWorks provides Front, Top, and Right
planes as defaults. The orientations
(Front, Top,
Right, and so on) relate to these
planes. Planes are used for sketching and for creating geometry for features.
You can create reference planes in addition to the default planes, and
you can open sketches on planar model faces.
