When using the Planar Face Mode of the Set Working Plane Tool, I wish that Vectorworks would generally assume that “Y” is up and that “X” is to the right, especially when using the face of a simple extrude (regardless of which direction the extrude was created in). Similarly, when creating a planar shape (for example, combining a circle and a square within a 3D symbol to create the profile for an extrude), I wish the plane associated with the profile would, by default, be set with “Y” up and “X” to the right. When zipping along modeling and setting working planes, it’s disruptive suddenly having to identify why objects aren’t being drawn with the expected orientation and then having to manually rotate the working plane so that “Y” is up.
