The Drawing Planes selector helps to select the plane in which strokes are drawn.

To see which plane you are using when drawing strokes, you can enable Canvas in Viewport Overlays. See Viewport Display to know more about Canvas settings.

Note

The Drawing Plane only affects new strokes and does not affect existing strokes.
