Method findSolid

        This function is very important for chains that are modifying a single parent object,
        most often a solid.

        Most of the time, a chain defines or selects a solid, and then modifies it using workplanes
        or other operations.

        Plugin Developers should make use of this method to find the solid that should be modified,
        if the plugin implements a unary operation, or if the operation will automatically merge its
        results with an object already on the stack.
