Creating a 3D Plane

You can create a 3D plane.

Before you begin:
  • Open a 3D shape representation containing a layout.
  • By default, the 3D Plane command is not available in any of the action bar. To make it available, you need to customize the action bar. See Customizing an Action Bar by Adding Commands for more information.
