Dialog

The dialog allows the user to set / change all the parameters of a plane entity:

  • orientation: via the geological dip/dip direction convention (since version 2.8) or via the normal vector (since version 2.9)
  • dimensions: width and height
  • center: input the X, Y, and Z coordinate of the center, or pick it directly in a 3D view

Note: planes can also be created (with less parameters) via the Primitive factory
