So without a construction plane, Rhino would not know where you were clicking, and get really confused. But let's take a look and build a few simple objects to demonstrate. First off, I want to point out that the interface is in 3D with all these different views, and we have three dimensions, x, y and z, with corresponding construction planes. For those three dimensions, so for example, the top view. Our construction plane is flat on the ground and the front view, it is facing toward you matching that view and to the right, again, it's another construction plane rotated 90 degrees, but there's only three of them…
