EAlexander Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I teach it to my students this way: Layer plane is your sheet of vellum on your desk Screen plane is the glass of your computer monitor Automatic gives you an active working plane that will snap your tool or command to the surface that is purple. Sounds easy, right...but... Automatic can only be selected when you have a tool or polygonal tool (rectangle, Line, etc) selected - not always in the menu. They have added in other "Plane" options which confuse and make trouble... 3D, Screen Aligned, Symbol definition. Also, not in the drop down menu. I don't know why they made it so convoluted, but it is easily the hardest single concept for my students to grasp when I teach them this program. Frustrating. Glad you understand it better!

Markvl Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It's one of those things that you've probably seen a gazillion times but it takes a eureka moment to get it. Thanks for the videos DM. I'll be watching for these from now on. Quote Link to comment
