# 1.  Establishes a workplane that an object can be built on.
# 1a. Uses the X and Y origins to define the workplane, meaning that the
# positive Z direction is "up", and the negative Z direction is "down".
# 2.  The highest (max) Z face is selected and a new workplane is created on it.
# 3.  The new workplane is used to drill a hole through the block.
# 3a. The hole is automatically centered in the workplane.
