Add a Plane with the Ribbon Bar Function
You can also create auxiliary planes from the Part tab of the ribbon, where you can find the Help planes group. Auxiliary planes can be created to To plane and Free, which are the same functions as selecting an auxiliary plane / surface from the model (or tree) and selecting the corresponding functions from the right-click menu. In addition, you can create planes from the ribbon to basic auxiliary planes by selecting one of these planes, for example from tree / model.
