Detailed Description

Plane manipulation class. The SPlane creation can be done by calling the static functions:
.

New() to create your own empty SPlane.
New() to copy an existing SPlane.
New() to create a new SPlane by defining its center, normal, X axis, length and width.

var center = SPoint.New(1, 1, 2);

var normal = SVector.New(0, 1, 0);

var dirX = SVector.New(0, 0, 1);

var length = 25;

var width = 12;

var emptySPlane = SPlane.New();

var mySPlane = SPlane.New(center, normal, dirX, length, width);

var mySPlaneCopy = SPlane.New(mySPlane);
