Position the Reference Plane
The Reference Plane is an infinite two-dimensional plane used for various operations within
Cyclone. Besides as a reference for volume calculations, it is also used as a basis for surface
deviation measurements, 2D drawing functions or orienting cutplanes.
The following outlines how to access and manipulate the cutplane to position it at the previously
marked highest point of the mesh and align it to the current UCS.
