Creating a workplane tangential to an extruded circle (by Rajeev Ranjan Jha)
I am Day 2 of learning SolvedSpace and found the tutorials to be fantastic.
I am trying to create a tangential workplane to an extruded part of a circle but am not able to do so even after trying several different ways.

I have the tangent lines in the same plane as the workplane I want. However, every method I have tried adds the workplane orthogonal to the one I want.

What is the right way to approach this problem?

Adding the file for reference..

Thanks

Found the answer to my own problem (by Rajeev Ranjan Jha)
I could finally get the tangential plane.
I needed to select the origin and two non-parallel co-planar lines that define the plane.

Thomas Knight's notes from the archive helped.

Thanks
