  This is from the very first page of the documentation that comes with Planespace:

  “Activate the Assistants
  The 3D Assistants are keyframing tools, not plugins. Therefore, you will find them listed in After Effectʼs ʻWindowʼ menu, not under the ʻEffectsʼ menu. The first time you use an Assistant, the tool may appear to be ʻgrayed outʼ, or not selectable in the Window menu. To activate the 3D Assistants, you will need to do these simple steps.
  (1) Select the layers in your Timeline.
  (2) Turn on the 3D switch for those layers.
  (3) Go to your Window menu to select the 3D Assistant.”

  Next time try reading the docs first.
