When the working plane is not on the layer plane, it becomes visible.Įvery object created in the drawing is placed in relation to the layer plane for the active layer, whether it's placed directly on that plane or placed above or below it. When modeling in 3D, the 'working' plane is the 3D plane where geometry is placed, and where the cursor snaps to when no other 3D snap is active (the cursor is not snapping to 3D geometry). The working plane can be on the layer plane, or in any other orientation required. In an architectural sense, the layer plane is like the floor of a building it is sometimes referred to as the ground plane. The layer plane provides a constant visual and logical reference and is fixed in relation to the objects in the layer. Using working planes Concept:Understanding the working planeĮvery Vectorworks layer has a 3D plane associated with it.
