Thank you for your inquiry.
In Quadcept, the "Solder" layer is defined as a layer for solder resist opening, and objects drawn on this layer becomes an area without solder mask.
[Layer(Default Layer)]
Therefore, if there is some object in this layer, the area of the object will not have a solder mask, and if there is no objects on the layer, a board will be coated with resist when manufacturing the board.
Thank you.

So in other words there isn't a way to create a plane that tells the manufacturer not to put solder mask. I'm attaching an image to show what I'm after

I am sorry I did not make it clear enough.
You can tell the board manufacturer not to put solder mask by placing an object on the "Solder" layer. The layer is for removing a solder resist from a board. For example, if you draw the following figure on that layer, you can specify the area without solder mask like the image you attached.
* The object is created with the Filled Polygon command.

If you have anything unclear, please let me know.
Thank you.
