Changing the Appearance of a Plane

You can use the Fill, Outline, and Clipface options to change the appearance of a plane.

  • Fill: Set to Automatic by default. Automatic causes geometry behind the plane to look lighter than geometry outside the plane boundaries. If you change to No Fill, all geometry will have the same opacity.
  • Outline: Set to Automatic by default. For Automatic you see the outline of the plane. If you change to No Outline, the plane is invisible unless selected.
  • Setting planes to No Fill and No Outline is useful when dimensioning parts. It is easier to see annotations when planes are less visible.
  • Clipface: Sets the clipface color override for each clipping plane in the design window. It does not change the color of the plane itself, just the color of the face the plane is touching.
