Slanted plane in bview

Slanted plane in bview

Planes may not be drawn correctly,

A non unitary normal vector makes the cell slices be oriented out of the plane

A unit normal makes some of the cell slices go missing

Setting a finite value for the plane alpha works around this problem.

alpha = 1e-4
