I'm looking for a way to decide whether a point is on, to the left, or to the right of a plane. I have it to work for a selected point. For example, given a number of (x,y,z) coordinates, I'm able to determine what points are on, or across the a line drawn from a point say x = 3. The code I developed works perfect. However, I want to expand on this so that any plane can be used not just the yz plane (x = 3). I want to do a batch check on all the points in a variable called vertices. There will always be three point coordinates in this variable.

The origin of the vector is the vertex it is the normal for.
Plane L contains 10,000 points in 3D space OXYZ
Plane M contains (normal_vector & center_point). Firstly, finding the perpendicular distance of each point in plane L to the plan M. Example: 10,000 distance corresponding to 10,000 points.
Then check the condition to the Plane M. If the distance < distance_threshold. Example: 1cm or 5mm ====> then, choose those point satisfying that condition only
