Can someone help me with opPlane?`

I am trying to just simply offset a plane from the "Front" plane a certain distance to place a sketch on inside of the code.

Here is a link of what I am trying to accomplish %100 with code.
The outside squares will be controlled with the same variables and all 3 will be controlled with a 'height' variable.
The middle box will control the distance of the outside boxes.
I'm just trying to get a better understanding on how opPlane works...
Thank you!!

Generally the most maintainable way of making sketch geometry in specific place is to create a Plane in the right position and base everything off of that, creating sketches with newSketchOnPlane.
Here's a public example document doing what you want:
