          Appeal No. 1997-2898                                                        
          Application 08/368,239                                                      



          plane pairs and changing the distances between the respective               
          pairs.                                                                      
               Claim 8 "means for defining two pairs of parallel planes,              
          the parallel planes including first and second parent planes                
          for indicating two fixed faces of the three dimensional                     
          drawing and first and second offset planes for indicating two               
          variable faces of the three dimensional drawing, the first                  
          parent plane being parallel with the first offset plane, the                
          second parent plane being parallel with the second offset                   
          plane."  More specifically, the claim recites two pairs of                  
          parent/offset planes in a three-dimensional drawing.  The                   
          claim does not recite selecting faces of a three-dimensional                
          object.
