      As opposed to aligning view port with plane. Is this possible?

        If you use the axis tool and right-click, I think you can align axis with view. Then you can draw your plane there.

        I might be wrong and I can't test it right now.

          Copy and paste this code into the Ruby Console. It will draw a Construction line along the view direction of the camera. Then you can place the Axis along the cline and construct geometry which is aligned to the Axes.

          
          Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_cline(Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.eye,Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.direction)
          

          Hi
