Question:

What does the Plan By 3D Element Tool do?

Answer:

The Plan By 3D Element Tool will create a 2D element and set the original 3D element as the active profile.

Example:

The example below shows how to use the Plan By 3D Element Tool on an imported MX 3D non alignment element.

Use Import Geometry to import the MX 3D non alignment element.
The element will show as an Additional 3D Linear Element and have a limited popup menu.
Switch to the Default-3D Cad Model
Select the Plan By 3D Element Tool from the 3D Geometry panel
Select the 3D element.
When you hover over the element it now should show as Current active 3D linear element.
Switch back to Default Cad model.
When you hover over the element it shows as a Complex element which has an active profile. The full pop up menu will show now for the element.
