Below shows that all three points have been defined to create a plane #1.
Once these points have been picked up using the ‘Add New Plane for Probing’ function followed by the
plane wizard we must move the plane by half the diameter of the probe which is 0.118.
If we did not move the plane down into the work it would start its automatic digitizing routine .118 above
the manifold surface. By moving the plane down .118 we are forcing the probe to start probing at that
level shown in Fig.3, otherwise the probe would start probing at the level shown in Fig 4 and produce an
undesirable outcome. Essentially, the probe would move out looking for a wall and wouldn’t be able to find
one.
