	Plane is a cluster consisting of the four coefficients of the plane equation. A specifies the A coefficient of the plane equation. B specifies the B coefficient of the plane equation. C specifies the C coefficient of the plane equation. D specifies the D coefficient of the plane equation.
	Number is the integer used to identify the plane. Number must be a value between 0 and 5, inclusive.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	New Clip Plane Refnum is the reference to the clip plane.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

Create Clip Plane Details

The coordinates of points in a clip plane are determined by the following equation:

A_x+B_y+C_z+D = 0

LabVIEW determines the side of the plane on which objects appear based on the orientation of the plane. A plane defined by the constants 1, 1, 1, and 0 is opposite in orientation to a plane defined by the constants –1, –1, –1, and 0.
