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.
