G'day,
Try this...
ParametricPlot3D[{5, y, z}, {y,-5,5},{z,-5,5}]
.... to get the plane x=5.
Here's what Mathematica says:
In[1]:= ?ParametricPlot3D
ParametricPlot3D[{fx, fy, fz}, {t, tmin, tmax}] produces a
three-dimensional
space curve parametrized by a variable t which runs from tmin to
tmax.
ParametricPlot3D[{fx, fy, fz}, {t, tmin, tmax}, {u, umin, umax}]
produces a
three-dimensional surface parametrized by t and u.
ParametricPlot3D[{fx,
fy, fz, s}, ... ] shades the plot according to the color
specification s.
ParametricPlot3D[{{fx, fy, fz}, {gx, gy, gz}, ... }, ... ] plots
several
objects together.
