igRefEleInit
igReverseNormalSide
igTangentToFace
igTangentToSurfaceAtAngle
igTangentToSurfaceAtKeypoint

Member of the ReferenceElementConstants constant set that defines the x origin of the reference plane to be created.

Distance

Specifies the distance.

Local

Specifies whether the reference plane should be a local or global reference plane. If not specified, the default is to create a local reference plane. When using Solid Edge interactively, local reference planes are created whenever a profile-based feature is created. Local reference planes are never displayed to the user. Global reference planes are created interactively using the reference plane commands on the reference plane toolbar. Global reference planes are displayed and have their display controlled through the use of various display commands.
