HI,

I am new to 3D modelling of rafters etc.  I have created a series of rafters along a reference plane so that's fine, but when I come to do a plumb cut on the rafter ends I cannot seem to do it to a reference plane unless I'm in 2D.  I can show the reference plane, and select a rafter to cut geometry with the plane, and the cut geometry plane icon comes up when I do that, but I can't clieck on the reference plane, hence the geometry cut does not occur.

Any thoughts, please?

Just to clarify, I can do geometry cut to a reference plane in 2D but not in 3D.

Thanks

RP’s are visible only in 2d views perpendicular to the plane. What you see in 3d view (after clicking on Show) is a ‘Work Plane Grid’, not RP.

Cutting in 3d view using RP’s is not possible.
