Rectangle Profile
Draw a rectangular planar cross-section for a later solid operation.

Where to find it
Geometry workspace; System → Geometry
How to use it
Choose its work plane, dimensions and location before adding Extrude or Revolve. Choose Build All Geometry to update Graphics.
Settings and initial values
| Setting | Initial value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Work plane | Work Plane 1 | Choose the label of an earlier Work Plane in the geometry sequence. Its center and local u/v directions place the profile in space. Correct a missing-plane warning before using the profile; the fallback plane is not proof that the intended reference was found. |
| Width | 1[m] | Set the full rectangle width along the work plane's local u direction. Use a positive length in metres or compatible units, such as 10[mm]. |
| Height | 0.5[m] | Set the full rectangle height along the work plane's local v direction. Use a positive length in metres or compatible units, such as 10[mm]. |
| Center U | 0[m] | Offset the profile center along local u from the selected work plane center. Values are lengths in metres or compatible units, not global coordinates. Tilting the work plane tilts these local directions. |
| Center V | 0[m] | Offset the profile center along local v from the selected work plane center. Values are lengths in metres or compatible units, not global coordinates. Tilting the work plane tilts these local directions. |
Result
Built solids and their selectable entities appear in Graphics.
Troubleshooting
A profile alone does not provide a three-dimensional volume mesh.
