Is it possible to create geometry by intersecting a construction plane with a body. I’m going to use that geometry To extrude perpendicular to the construction plane.

I also need to figure out how to show up screenshot of what I’m up to.

Dennis, from what I’m perceiving from your question is, Yes.

You can add Planes, move them, rotate them, then move them again. They can be moved anywhere without restriction of a body. You can also add a plane, by using any body’s surface using Add a plane to that body’s surface, or you can select a surface, then double tap on the surface and this makes that surface an active drawing plane.

I hope I’ve understood your question. You can send a screen shot, with markup lines, to help portray your question.

Appreciate you getting back with me. I used to be proficient with CATIA(cuss and try it again). did a project with free Sketcher but that’s not feasible anymore so here I am learning Shapra. You answered my question correctly, I’m getting better at construction plans. thank you
