# Plane

## About this Block

**What it does:** The **Plane** block creates a plane from an origin Point and vector directions as X and Y axes.

**Common uses:**

* Mirroring operations
* Defining build planes

**Tips:**

* To create a coincident plane from a CAD face: ([https://support.ntopology.com/hc/articles/360057071993](https://support.ntopology.com/hc/articles/360057071993))
