Hi,
I’m using Rhino on Windows and I’m trying to embed a Cplane into my block. I know in AutoCad, you can include a UCS (Cplane) into your block , but I can’t seem to figure out how to do it in rhino. The reason why I am wanting to do this is b/c I am trying to lay flat parts of a shelving unit to be cut by a CNC machine, and I don’t want to do it all manually, as I will be using multiple programs so I would like block to be ‘inserted’ laying flat.
Please help!
Hello - I guess, if I understand what you want to do, RemapCPlane from their current plane to Top, then create the block. Does that do anything good?

Hi,
No, that doesn’t seem to be doing what I need. I want to attach a cplane to an object (preferably a block), and have it stick to the object when I open it up in another software (eg AutoCad). Does this make sense?
Hello - no - there is no provision for that that I know of. I was hoping that setting the orientation of the object to World as it is the the current CPlane would be helpful, I guess not…

Thanks Pascal,
I will leave this forum open to anyone else who is having this same problem or has a solution.
The Construction plane is a setting stored in a viewport. It’s not something that can be attached to an object.
Rhino is a “right-handed, Z-up” application.
Some other modelers use a different orientation.
Generally you can rotate the geometry in Rhino to match the target applications preferences so export/import works more smoothly.
Can you post a sample file with a block and expected result/behavior?
