In the Part Design workbench, you can click the datum plane button to create a plane on the position you want. Then you can work from positions under an angle or a specific height.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you select the built in Part Design workbench, there&#8217;s a button with an oblique rectangle on it. When you click on it, you can create a plane as you want. It can be referred to another plane for example or it can also be a so called deactivated attachment. Then the plane is independent from any other object.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Check out my videos on the <a title=\"AllVisuals4U\" href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/AllVisuals4U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AllVisuals4U<\/a> channel to learn more about FreeCAD! I&#8217;ve been uploading a lot of tutorials there.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the video in this article, i demonstrate how i created an independent datum plane under an angle. I also show you how to create an object on this plane.
