 ====== Ordinate Dimensions ======
 **Question:**
-How do I place the corner for the Ordinate Dimension?
+How do I place the //origin// or "corner" for the Ordinate Dimension?
 The approach that Rhino takes is to create these ordinate dimensions in the active detail or on the model.
-  * The ordinate dimension uses the current cplane.
+  * The ordinate dimension uses the //current cplane//.
   * You can set the cplane origin to the corner of the geometry that you will be dimensioning to.
-  * Use **NamesCplanes** to save your cplane and restore the cplance for additional dimensions or editing.
+  * To make a construction plane, use the [[https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/commands/cplane.htm#(null)|Cplane]] command with the 3PT option or other preferred options.
+  * Use **NamesCplanes** to save your **cplane** and restore the cplance for additional dimensions or editing.

+  * The layout arranges details that contain views of your objects and ordinate dimensions.
   * If you need to edit the location of the geometry, make the cplane active before moving the geometry.
