Is there any way to take a locator and align it to the same plane as a polygon? I want to set up a rig for an object that will hinge of a particular polygon.

Sure. A normal constraint would work. [Animation] Constrain->Normal

normal constraint questions are like buses eh Michiel?
you wait ages for one and then two come along at the same time. :)

Yeah, it's a curious phenomenon. But I much prefer it to multiposting.

you could try the snap toghether tool ( under the modify menu)

Snap together does not work with locators.

Eh sometimes the second bus catches you eye...

I tried this technique.. it just aligns the locator it doesn't constrain it to the polygon?

Granted I'm still learning :D but constrain by geometry is really cool! Yes I'm late to the party.
