FreeCAD Datum Plane With examples of use: Slanted features, sketch on curve, cross section.

Examples and applications of datum plane and how, when and why you should use them in FreeCAD. We explore creating a slanted features from a sketch on a datum plane that is then set at an angle through the centre of the body and pockets the body leaving behind a feature that doesn't need a draft, filet or chamfer to create slopes. We learn how to sketch on curved surfaces or cylinders using a datum plane with a sketch to create such things as pipe works or liquid containers. The datum can also be used to create cross section and cut away views, create an internal structure inside a body that can be totally enclosed and use the datum plane in mirroring features. There are many features in FreeCAD that a datum plane can be used for and this just brushes the surface.
