Anyone know how to fix the planes,
What is benefit of move planes??
any suggest will be apreciate

You need to read through your manual,or do the tutorial that comes with your installation.
Planes rather than faces are best used for mating parts in assemblies, because faces often change.
Moving planes can be used for different configurations of the same assembly, a pneumatic cylinder for instance with forward and return positions.
I often name one of the planes "floor" for instance.

Move Planes? If you move them, virtually nothing changes. The actual Plane is exactly where it was before you moved it.

Easiest example to see it involves a Revolve. Make a Revolve using some plane. See where it is? Now move the Plane back 3 inches or whatever. The Revolve stays where it is. Now make another Revolve using the same Plane (that just moved). Your next Revolve is on the same plane as the first one, before you move the Plane.

To me, moving planes may just confuse you, or it is a nice way to trick a co-worker into wondering what the hey...

Ohh, did you move one, and you want to put it back? Well, then just right-click on it and choose Autosize. There you go...

I think there is some confusion here. For revolves, think about what the plane is doing logically. I don't think its actual location is necesarily relevant, merely its orientation. Try the same experiment with a plane defined from three 3D points, then change their 3D locations to also re-orient the plane and see what happens to verify this. Also remember that a plane is really mathmatically infinite in size, even though GRAPHICALLY we can make it look small and finite - that can give us a false impression. Only a move in a direction perpendicular to the plane (along its normal vector) is truely a mathmatical change in the plane's definition.

Planes can be used for many purposes and it is true that sometimes planes or surfaces may be more appropriate for apparently similar purposes.

What is you exact application and problem in this case?
