Command Overview

Note: Don't confuse this command with one of the plane data type snapping commands (such as snap-to-plane-data-switch ("stpp"), for example. In this context, the 'plane' is actually a 3D window section definition, used for clipping and digitizing, not a planes object type.

Move the current view plane to a parallel plane through a point.

This can be really useful to align a cross-sectional plane for clipping, for example, when viewing a model slice passing through a particular drillhole segment, or to see how hanging wall points align with an implicit model.

Command steps:

Display reference data in a 3D window.
Run the command.
Select (left click) any data point (make sure your data selection settings are set up first).

The current section plane position snaps to the clicked point.

Note: The existing section orientation (dip and azimuth) doesn't change. To change this, you'll need to edit Section Properties.
