The command you're missing is ParametricPlot3D, which creates the sort
of Graphics objects you need.
The x=5 plane can be produced by
ParametricPlot3D[{5,y,z},{y,-5,5},{z,-6,6},PlotPoints->2]. the x+y=0
plane can be produced by
ParametricPlot3D[{-y,y,z},{y,-5,5},{z,-6,6},PlotPoints->2]. The
PlotPoints->2 option just make the graphic object more plane-like
instead of looking like a bunch of vertical polygons.
