newSketch versus newSketchOnPlane documentation

The variable strangeness I was talking about earlier was in newSketch and newSketchOnPlane. Both take a variable called sketchPlane; only newSketchOnPlane says it does in the documentation right now, but they both do according to the starter code in the dropdown menu. However, as far as I can tell newSketch expects a query and newSketchOnPlane expects a plane.

    You're right that this is more confusing then it needs to be, but your conclusion is correct: newSketch expects a query for a single plane, while newSketchOnPlane expects a variable with type Plane.

    Since this is used so often, we're considering just merging these into one function, such that newSketch(context, id, {sketchPlane : p}); will do the right thing whether p is a plane or a query for a plane. 

    Your thoughts on that?

    I think that would be a great idea!
