move-plane-backward ("mpb")

See this command in the command table.

To access this command:

  • View ribbon >> Move >> Back

  • Enter "move-plane-backward" into the Command toolbar and press <ENTER>.

  • If using a keyboard, press Page Down.

  • Use the quick key combination "mbp" whilst a 3D view is active

Command Overview

Move the currently active section plane forward in a direction orthogonal to the plane. The plane is moved forward or backward by the current section width (as shown on the 3D View ribbon >> Clip >> Width).

Note: This differs from the move-plane command, where a custom movement distance is specified during the command, and the default movement distance set using the View ribbon's Move field.

Command Steps:

  1. Run the command.

  2. The currently active section plane will be shifted backwards by the specified section width.
