Automatic plane positioning
The automatic plane positioning feature allows you to create objects by inferring the height or depth of the object. For
example, to draw a cube, the height of the top face of the cube must be known. With automatic plane positioning,
perspective grid automatically adjusts the horizontal grid plane to match the height of the top face of the cube.
Two faces of a cube
Horizontal grid plane is adjusted to the height of left face of the cube when horizontal grid plane is selected and you place the pointer on the
anchor point using Perspective Selection tool and press Shift. The other grid planes are hidden temporarily.
