Input Definitions
Inputs Needed to Call the Channel Function
channelorigin - a 3*1 matrix with x,y,z positions corresponding to the point where the channel will be drawn
channeldim - a 3*1 matrix with the x,y,z positions specifying the dimensions of the channel cutout
t - specifies the thickness of the channel walls

box1 - creates a box that will serve as the channel cutout.
box1 <-- boxA(p1,p2)
p1 =
- x : channelorigin0
- y : channelorigin1
- z : channelorigin2
p2 =
- x : channelorigin0 + channeldim0
- y : channelorigin1 + channeldim1

box2 - creates the outer box of the channel.
box2 <-- boxA(p3,p4)
p3 =
- x : channelorigin0
- y : channelorigin1 - t
- z : channelorigin2 - t
p4 =
- x : channelorigin0 + channeldim0

Southeast Isometric View, After Subtract
subtract1 - subtracts the inner box from the outer box to create a channel, using p5 to select the outer box as the object to be subtracted from, and p6 and p7 to draw a box that selects the inner box as the object to be subtracted.
subtract1 <-- subtractH(p5,p6,p7)
p5 =
- x : channelorigin0
- y : channelorigin1 + channeldim1 + t
p6 =
- x : channelorigin0 - zc
- y : channelorigin1 - t - zc
p7 =
- x : channelorigin0 + channeldim0 + zc
- y : channelorigin1 + channeldim1 + t + zc
