Plane won't show up?

ariel_haber_fawcett

The plane I made won't show up when I am trying to put a sketch on it (only the one called "front" which was there). It is there when I'm not clicked into the sketch though!

Hi Ariel,

Was the Plane you are trying to sketch on created after the Sketch you are trying to edit (is the Plane below the Sketch in the Feature List)?  Because of the parametric nature of Onshape, nothing created after the sketch you are editing can be used as input to the sketch (as it doesn't exist yet from the sketch's point of view).  Try dragging the Plane to before the Sketch, or dragging the Sketch to after the Plane while you are not editing anything.

The information in the following article may help you use the Feature List more effectively, read especially the parts about the rollback bar and reordering features:

This sounds like the plane you've created is later in the feature history then the sketch you are editing. If the plane does not reference elements of the sketch, you can just drag it higher in the feature list.
