How to draw a plane parallel to a Ray?

@kevzettler sorry it has taken a while for you to get a reply. The first problem is which plane. Think of your ray as an axis then a plane along the ray can be rotated around the ray at any angle.

A ray has an origin and a direction (and possibly a length)

One way to place the plane along the line is to choose a line within the plane and then align this with the ray line. as in this PG http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#23HHWK#3

Note however that this depends on writing the vectors in the cross product in the right order. Will check how to always do this later as I have a pressing matter to deal with right now.

EDIT Just make sure line on the plane comes first in the cross product.
