given:
a plane with normal N and a point on the plane P.
a line from A to B that intersects the plane but is not coplanar.
Find the point C on the line that is X distance away from the plane (along the plane's normal, meaning the shortest line that can be drawn from the point to the plane)
Note: I am not mathematically savvy, I prefer to work visually with vectors, cross products, dot products, etc, such as equations like the distance D of point B to the plane is D = N dot ( B - P ). That makes sense to me, numbers and fancy equations... not so much.
