Concerning Ground Plane?? - Richard L. West - 2019-10-15
Hello everyone on the board, just wondering is there a way to add a ground plane in the editing screen? I meant a sturdy ground base to lay the model on?

For which editor?
In a pinch you could just put a large base plate in at 0,0,0 and delete it when you're done.

If so, then I recommend adding a big base plate and set its color to transparent. You can then remove this once your model is finished.

I'd recommend just not using MLCad and instead switching to LDCad before using the baseplate trick
