Hi @Otto,
Have you checked

BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/068c3e805eb54c8cdac036c25c6f6659a054cc03/packages/dev/core/src/Maths/math.plane.ts#L206


      
                  return result;

              }

          

              /**

               * Calculates the distance from a plane and a point

               * @param origin origin of the plane to be constructed

               * @param normal normal of the plane to be constructed

               * @param point point to calculate distance to

               * @returns the signed distance between the plane defined by the normal vector at the "origin"" point and the given other point.

               */

              static SignedDistanceToPlaneFromPositionAndNormal(origin: DeepImmutable<Vector3>, normal: DeepImmutable<Vector3>, point: DeepImmutable<Vector3>): number {

                  const d = -(normal.x * origin.x + normal.y * origin.y + normal.z * origin.z);

                  return Vector3.Dot(point, normal) + d;

              }

          }

too?
