Did you read the Reference section?  It tells you where you can find an 
implementation of plate mode mesh geometry:  grep RT_BOT_PLATE 
src/librt/primitives/bot/*.c

If you’d like to discuss interactively, you are encouraged to join our IRC 
channel.  This page tells you how to join and proper etiquette:  
http://brlcad.org/wiki/IRC
The critical point that most get wrong is that people aren’t just sitting there 
waiting to answer questions.  One has to ask and wait for a response (and keep 
your IRC client open 24/7 so you can be reached when someone does respond).  
Many of us are on there 24/7, so when we read questions, we’ll respond if the 
person that asked is still there.  The mailing list is good for those that 
can’t wait.

Cheers!
Sean
