• Optionally, a plane can be created to represent either the X or Y axis.

•  A plane can be created from the whole wall or just a part of the wall

Note: Limiting the area is useful for plane creation to valid data only.

• To limit the area of the plane, draw a fence around an area on the wall to highlight the area:
