Draw Harness and Samples

Hello,
I was hoping some one might be able to provide an example of how to add internal edges to a face.
currently I am using mkplane to generate a face from a wire. Is there there a way to add more wires to the face directly in the draw environment? Specifically looking to add internal loops to the face representing what will be holes.

I managed to figure this one out.

Here is an example.

funny enough the command to add additional wires to a face is add wireToAdd FaceBeingAddedTo
