Defining Work Planes !

[yehlo1972]

Hi
I am trying to make new work planes which are normal to another plane and also pass from a point. but i can not define the normal constraint, when i select a plane inventor make a plane parallel to the selected plane. how i should do it. ?

Normal is parallel...

You can create a plane offset from another by selecting the work plane tool, then selecting the plane and then selecting a point or specifying the offset distance. You can then change the "Normal" direction by RMB on the plane and selecting "flip normal". This changes the direction that a sketch will sit on the plane.

I am not certain this is what you are asking, please attach an image or the model of what you have already and I can help you better.

Try to do as David said and offset one plane, also try to do a 3pt plane

In geometry when we say "normal" we are referring to 90° angle, that is perpendicular, not parallel. There are several methods depending on what you already have and what you want to do.
You can create a line on the first plane and then exit sketch. Start the Workplane command and select the line and the endpoint of the line. A workplane will be placed normal to the line.
