Rotate a Plane

Hello,
i like to rotate a plane, dependent on a mesh (obj-File).
As like in the picture.How can i rotate the Plane, to fit the crooked edge in the geometry?
Thank you very much

    There are a number of different ways you could approach this.  Planes are always made using the "Plane" feature:
    https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/cplane.htm

    The simplest approach would be to use the "Three point" option, and select three points on the mesh that the plane should pass through.


    Another option that may suit you a little better would be to use the "line angle" option.  First, sketch a line on the "top" plane that you want your new plane to pass through.  Then start a plane feature, switch to "line angle" and select the sketched line.  The system will show a hint at the top stating that you can also make an additional selection to use as a reference for the angle.  You can select the top plane as the reference, and then change the angle to 90 degrees.  Here is what that one looks like:


    Hope this helps!

    I try the three point method befor, but i has selected the plane itself, and it wont work, but now it works! :)

    Yes having  4 inputs in your 3 point plane could be a problem :)
