pack leaves floating objects #469

The pack's docstring states Pack objects in a squarish area in Plane.XY. I believe the intended use for this function is to arrange objects to be sent for cutting or 3d printing. In both cases you would want the objects placed on the plane.

BTW, theres no mention of pack in the documentation.

parts = [Box(1,1,1)] * 6
parts[0] = Pos(0,0,2) * parts[0]
parts = pack(parts, 0.5)

Pack is mentioned on this page https://build123d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tips.html

Huh, the only thing that shows up when using the search bar is TTT Party Pack

Even though pack.pack() is in the docs in the above section the RTD search engine doesn't find "pack". The documentation of this feature could certainly be improved.
