What are the new ways in which you can create planes? I assume that while designing this new functionality someone had a spec that shows the developer what to do? I've been given partial lists, but what's wrong with all of the information?

The new interface is just a black hole - the first thing you throw down it is completely blind as to what affect what you select has on the output.

Marlon or Mark B? More complete answer please?
