The plate will be a a surface with thickness. It will contain the holes

as sub surfaces.

Notice the nested Repeat objects - that is because we

would like to create holes in both X and Y direction of the plate. The

outer repeat is for along Y axis (uses j control parameter) and the inner

repeat is along X axis (uses i control parameter).

spX and spY are the spacing along X and Y axis, respectively.

(locX, locY) is the location of the hole.
