On Plane

Function: This function selects line elements (beams, columns, braces) whose start and end nodes lie within a specified (X, or Y or Z-axis) range, effectively isolating elements on a XY, or XZ or YZ plane.

Operation: Define the range by specifying the minimum and maximum coordinate values (user can select from the list or specify other numbers). The function will select all line elements whose nodal coordinates fall entirely or partially within the defined range.
