When you build a foil, it should be created by default in the current CPlane, as for block insertion.
By now, when you are creating an appendage in the appropriate CPlane, Orca creates the foil in the WorldCPlane.

Hi Lay, we haven’t had this request in the past, but perhaps it could be an option. The issue is that with the World coordinate system, we know (via Orca3D Properties) which direction is forward, which direction is up, and by the right-hand rule, which direction is to port or starboard. There is no way to know this, unless we assume the same definition in the Cplane (i.e., if the forward direction in World coordinates is negative X, then the same would apply in the Cplane). Is that what you envision?
Yes, use same directions for the CPlane.
In any case, in the Placement tab, you should be able to
We may use a dialog-box similar to
Hi Lay, good suggestion. It has been added to our development list. Also, note that the OrcaCreateFoil command is scriptable, so you could write command scripts and paste them into the command line. Not necessarily the most elegant solution, but perhaps better than writing down the parameters.
