      <p class="para_topic">The Defaults options allow you to choose the method with which you will define the axis, projection plane, and section plane. These options work in conjunction with the selected Definition Step buttons.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Axis</div>
      <p class="para_division">This option is activated by the Axis button. MCS X-Axis and MCS Y-Axis will automatically designate the rotation axis along the appropriate MCS axis. User Defined allows you to define the rotation axis by specifying a point and direction vector. You will select User Defined and then Specify Axis.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Projection</div>
      <p class="para_division">This option is activated by the Projection Plane button. MCS XY-Plane automatically designates the plane defined by the XM and YM axes. User Defined allows you to define the plane using the Plane Subfunction. You will select User Defined and then Specify Plane.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Section</div>
      <p class="para_division">This option is activated by the Section Plane button. You have the following three options for specifying section planes:</p>
      <p class="para_division">MCS XY-Plane automatically designates the plane defined by the XM and YM axes. User Defined allows you to use the Plane Subfunction to specify the section planes. You will select User Defined and then Specify Plane.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Use Radial Planes allows you to define a plane or series of planes using the rotation axis and specifying a point. After defining the point, you can determine how many planes you wish to create by specifying the Step Angle, Start Angle, and End Angle. The system will build planes (using the Right-Hand Rule) relative to the rotation angle between the Start Angle and End Angle at the interval you have specified as the Step Angle.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Once you have created a section plane, the system lets you choose More Planes or Create Sections. More Planes allows you to create another plane using the same method with which you created the previous plane. Create Sections causes the system to create the curves that have been defined by the sections planes that you have defined.</p>
