# Create a hollow box that's open on both ends with a thin wall.
# 1. Establishes a workplane that an object can be built on.
# 1a. Uses the named plane orientation "front" to define the workplane, meaning
# that the positive Z direction is "up", and the negative Z direction
# is "down".
# 2. Creates a plain box to base future geometry on with the box() function.
# 3. Selects faces with normal in +z direction.
# 4. Create a shell by cutting out the top-most Z face.
