plane [-length linear] [-name string] [-position linear linear linear] [-rotation angle angle angle] [-size linear] [-width linear]
plane is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
The command creates a sketch plane (also known as a "construction plane")
in space. To create an object (such as a NURBS curve, joint chain or
polygon) on a construction plane, you need to first make the plane live.
See also the makeLive command.
