add_plane
Creates reference planes for sketches by offsetting or rotating a base plane, or defining a plane through a point and normal vector.
Instructions
Make a reference plane to sketch on: an offset or a turned plane, its position a dimension.
base moved offset_mm along its normal (base: front/top/right or a plane by name), or a default plane turned angle_deg about a model axis it holds, about='x'/'y'/'z' (front holds x and y, top x and z, right y and z), by the right-hand rule. For both, turn first, then offset that plane. Or the plane through model point through=[x, y, z] square to normal=[dx, dy, dz] (any direction, e.g. square to a cone's generatrix). Returns its name for plane= arguments, and origin_mm, normal, x_axis and y_axis: a point (u, v) on it is origin + u x_axis + v y_axis.
