From the Command Line: Type "snap_ucs_to_entities" into the Command Line, at the top of the notification window, and press the Enter/Return key.

 

This tool is a Stacked Tool. If there is no selection prior to the activation of this tool the Selection Tool will become active and allow the selection of the entities that will be used to define plane.
