The first element on the stack must be a face, a set of
co-planar faces 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/faces, if a face/faces 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.

Cleans the current solid by removing unwanted edges from the

Normally you don't have to call this function. It is
automatically called after each related operation. You can
disable this behavior with `clean=False` parameter if method

drastically but is generally dis-advised since it may break
some operations such as fillet.
Note that in some cases where lots of solid operations are
chained, `clean()` may actually improve performance since
the shape is 'simplified' at each step and thus next operation
is easier.
Also note that, due to limitation of the underlying engine,
`clean` may fail to produce a clean output in some cases such as
spherical faces.
