If you make the editing plane translucent, you don't have to turn it off, because you can see through it instead.
I would have thought Archicad should default to a translucent editing plane - because (as an example) it is puzzling to hit the 'm' key to measure something, only to have it instantly disappear. Then when you hit escape it reappears. It's almost as annoying as playing chasey trying to catch the pet palette as it dances around the screen.

Like me, if you don't find the Editing Plane Display option under the View > 3D View Mode menu, then go into Options > Working Environment > Menus, and add the Editing Plane Display option to it... from the left-hand side dropdown, Commands by Theme > 04 View list.
In fact, while you're there, go into the Toolbars section and add all the editing plane commands to the Classic 3D Navigation toolbar too (with a separator line, if you prefer).
Remember to "Redefine" your layout scheme if you want these changes saved for next time.
And then show your new 3D toolbar under Window > Toolbars
