Origin Planes and Datum plane size - PartDesign
Have done a bit of a search and couldn't seem to work out if there is away to resize the planes. Firstly with the orgin planes XY, XZ, YZ and any datum planes the user adds?
For if I select the Origin , in the combo view under view tab there is 'size' and reads values 14.4, 14.4, 12.0 with respect to x,y,z however there are not selectable to change.

In the properties of the DatumPlane you can switch ResizeMode to manual and set length and width.

Re: Origin Planes and Datum plane size - PartDesign
Everything should automatically update to be always slightly larger than your model. So as you go designing you always have them visible.
Re: Origin Planes and Datum plane size - PartDesign
The scenario I have is I have a imported model in step file format of a shipping container. When I create new body the origin planes are microscopic in comparison to the imported model. Thus if I zoom out to see the whole model, I cannot see the planes at all as it appears as small as a dot/pixel if that.
Re: Origin Planes and Datum plane size - PartDesign
Why do yo need to see them? Just select the proper one from the list and draw the first rectangular sketch, constraint to those 40ft and they will become as big as the body.
Re: Origin Planes and Datum plane size - PartDesign
ah yes that is true, body (and part) only scale to the content within it, not to other things in the scene.
Re: Origin Planes and Datum plane size - PartDesign
No, I don't think so. They should resize according to the size of the model.
