Model-Editor
The Model-Editor is the view of the General-Assembly for your model. There is only one Model-Editor.
The Reference Triad shows the Global XYZ-axes.
The direction of each axis uses the right-hand rule. The:
•thumb finger points to the positive X direction
•index finger points to the positive Y direction
•middle finger points to the positive Z direction, normal to the X and Y directions
There are three(3) fixed Planes. They are the:
•Front Plane, which is co-planar with the Global XY-axes
•Top Plane, which is coplanar with the Global ZX-axes
•Right Plane, which is coplanar with the Global YZ-axes
