You could try ParamericPlot3D. I don't know if it will do everything you
want, but for the simple examples you have given it seems OK. For
example, the x-z plane can be drawn with,
sxz=ParametricPlot3D[{u,0,v},{u,-5,5},{v,-5,5}];
and the plane x+y==0 is simply,
ss=ParametricPlot3D[{-u,u,v},{u,-5,5},{v,-5,5}];
You can then combine these using, Show[sxz,ss];
Hope this helps,
Bill
