Transitory phase during which the boat goes from pushing the water at low speed to sliding over it. Usually this phase is accompanied by porpoiseing as the boat overtakes its own bow wave.

The boat is on the plane when it rises up out of the water and runs on the pad with the boat almost horizontal to the water.
Helpful?           0
A boat planes when she sails over her own bow wave, so that only a small section of the hull is in the water. This in turn allows the boat to go faster than the theoretical maximum hull speed.

a side of a brush (not technically, but see it as such)
Helpful?           0
all brushes seem 3D, but each face is really a plane of 3 points- if you remember Geometry. The intersections of the face plane with the other face planes of a brush define the edges. Actually, a face has more than 1 plane, for each face of a brush, 8 planes are created. That's because each face creates 2 planes (front and back) for each of of 4 hulls (1 drawing, 3 collision). Like bits in a word processor, planes in a map are the hidden basis for everything that is done. This is the main reason for the co-planar error in CSG- if two planes are parallel and overlapping, they go on forever....
