The action generates a plane from the objects available in the model (at present objects of type line, circle and ellips are permitted). The plane can consist of several plane parts and contain islands.

EUKLID Design tries to find a path from the selected start object back to the start object. In case of several possible paths you must resolve any ambiguity. Possible branches are shown by small circles in highlight color. Depending on the current cursor position the different resulting paths are displayed. Clicking with the left mouse button activates the currently chosen path. Subsequently EUKLID Design tries to continue automatically.

This procedure continues until the end object is reached. Thus a plane part is created you can begin with the next plane part by picking a new start object or close the action (by picking the closing list icon).
