Plane types

When you add distance variables to a custom component, you must select a plane type. The plane type defines what planes you can select.

You have the following options:

Plane type	Description	Example
Boundary planes	You can select the edges of a bounding box that surrounds the profile.
Center planes	You can select the center planes of a profile.
Outline planes	You can select the outer and inner surfaces of a profile.
Cut planes	If the part contains line, part, or polygon cuts, this option enables you to select cut surfaces. Fittings cannot be selected.
Component planes	What you can select depends on the component type and the Position type of the custom component.
