Assuming you want to start your profile on the plan view, select XY. The "None" button will now show "Top" as active plane. See note. Select the Wire (multiple-point line) tool, then start drawing a shape, using the text fields for X and Y positions. The "Relative" box should be checked, as well as the "Filled" box.
