This deals with the plane structure geometry model. Following Add Panel window
allows the definition of a plane to be created.

The Panel can be placed in either X-Y, X-Z, or Y-Z plane.
The Origin of the plane is defined by the X, Y and Z coordinates, which is the
center of the plane.
The sizes of the width and height are defined per structure measurements. The
unit follows the global displacement setting of the EDM software.
Width Count and Height Count are used to define the number of sections along
each direction of the plane. Note that the number of points alone each direction
will be the cell count plus 1.
Rotate values entered to XY, XZ, and YZ plain define the Euler angle of the plane.
These values need to be set per orientation of the plane under the global
coordinate system.
Following geometry model of the plane is on the XY plane, with 8 sections along X
axis, and 4 sections along Y axis. The number of points is 9 by 5, which equals to
45. The model consists of all the points, lines, and surfaces.
