Now looking across this, there's many features here, and we're going to cover these in two videos. So starting at the beginning, we have our reference geometry, which we can add in. These include planes, axes, and coordinate systems. They're pretty easy to use and essentially just ask you to pick some references that exist already in geometry, to assign where these features go.

I'm going to hit the green checkbox, and I've created a new plane using those two lines as a reference. I'm going to go ahead and hide that.
