The first element on the stack must be a face, or a vertex. If a vertex, then the parent item on the
chain immediately before the vertex must be a face.
The result will be a 2-d working plane
with a new coordinate system set up as follows:
* The origin will be located in the *center* of the face, if a face was selected. If a vertex was
selected, the origin will be at the vertex, and located on the face.
* The Z direction will be normal to the plane of the face,computed
at the center point.
* The X direction will be parallel to the x-y plane. If the workplane is parallel to the global
x-y plane, the x direction of the workplane will co-incide with the global x direction.
Most commonly, the selected face will be planar, and the workplane lies in the same plane
of the face ( IE, offset=0). Occasionally, it is useful to define a face offset from
an existing surface, and even more rarely to define a workplane based on a face that is not planar.
To create a workplane without first having a face, use the Workplane() method.
Future Enhancements:
* Allow creating workplane from planar wires
* Allow creating workplane based on an arbitrary point on a face, not just the center.
For now you can work around by creating a workplane and then offsetting the center afterwards.
