    # You could use a similar technique to crete the other faces of
    # the box.  For this example, we will use the pushpull method instead.

    # of the fromnt of the face.  In order to control the direction and
    # get the pushpull to go in the direction we want, we first check the
    # direction of the face normal.  If it is not in the direction that
    # we want, we will reverse the sign of the distance.
