The Distance To Plane node
When to use it
Signed distance to an infinite plane. Positive on the side the normal points, negative on the other.
The sign is the whole point. It makes an above-or-below test and a half-space cutter the same node.
The Plane primitive is this packaged as a solid. This one hands you the number.
