I often need to establish planes for sketching at oblique angles to existing objects. Seems like Adding Plane thru 3 Points would be the easiest method. However, when I attempt to pinpoint the 3 points, the system does not snap to the obvious choices (it highlights lines but not endpoints, for example). This means I am eyeballing the anchor points for my new planes, which often introduces small but very annoying dislocations. Is there a solution?

It snaps to the end points, but the visual feedback is indeed poor. We’ll improve this in the coming months.
