I want to check if a Polygon is flat and 100% on a Plane that is defined by another Objects XY-Axis.
How can I do that? I am stuck here.

Not sure if this is the most technically and/or mathematically correct solution, but I would check each polygon's vertex normal (=cross product of the vertex with next and previous vertex). If all normals are equal then I would assume the polygon to be flat.
Additionally, when all these normals are equal to the Z axis (= cross product of X and Y axis) of your reference object, then I would assume the polygon AND flat AND 100% on the XY plane of that object.

Hi Holgar, thanks for writing us.
With regard to your question, and following C4DS hints, I recommend, given the four points arranged in such a fashion:
A---B
| \ |
| \ |
D---C
and that to run the following steps:
Hope these few hints can help you to sort it out.
Cheers, Riccardo
