Parameters

P1

Array of 3 doubles (x, y, z) in meters; this is the first of three model-space points used to define the plane orientation; it is also used as the origin for the plane coordinate system

P2

Array of 3 doubles (x, y, z) in meters; this is the second of three model-space points used to define the plane orientation; the planes X-axis is directed from P1 to P2 unless useGlobal is set to True

P3

Array of 3 doubles (x, y, z) in meters; this is the final model-space point used to define the plane orientation

UseGlobal

Controls x-axis orientation (see Remarks)

Return Value

The resulting plane is not parametric.

The planes normal vector is calculated using the cross product of the vectors (P2 - P1) and (P3 - P1), respectively.

The x-axis of the planes' coordinate system are a vector from P1 to P2 or a vector projected from the x-axis of the global coordinate system onto the plane.

The useGlobal argument denotes whether to align the x-axis of the plane with global orientation.

This method creates the plane in the model that is currently being edited. This behavior is consistent with the other plane creation APIs, but it is different from the original IModelDoc2::ICreatePlaneFixed, which created the plane in this model, regardless of whether a component was currently being edited.
