Construct Plane: using 2 surfaces what is the best approach?

I have a datum that is 2 separate plane surfaces with opposing vectors but on the same center line.

What is the best approach: creating a few independent points on both surfaces and combining them into one plane OR creating 2 separate planes and then Constructing a plane from them?

  • I think individual points will give you the best flexibility. You can make 2 BF-RECOMP planes, filter as desired, reverse 1, if desired. _____Alternately, you could make individual mini-alignments of each plane, then re-probe normal to the improved vector of each half. I think that would allow you to build one best-fit plane. Never tried it, but theoretically that would work.
