The working plane manufacturing operation can be defined in reference to the local coordinates system of members and plates in the model. This will lead to a smoother workflow when modeling your connection.

In the past, defining the position and rotation of the working plane could be a little bit difficult. From now on, the origin of Working plane operation may be selected at the Member or Plate local coordinate system.ย

That is especially useful for, e.g., cuts of gusset plates according to members and all general cuts in the plane of model item.
