Face

To create a Face in the Main Menu select New Entity - > Build - > Face


To create a Face you need to select input shape(s). The list of input shapes can include shapes of any type; if the shapes are nor wires or edges, the algorithm extracts all edges from the input shapes and works on the obtaineed edges.
The edges and wires do not necessarily have to be closed, the algorithm automatically builds a wire of maximum length from all given edges and wires. If it founds multiple closed wires, it can build a face with holes or some separate faces, depending on the placement of the wires. If some resulting wires remain open, they will be added in the resulting compound "as is".
Check Try to create a planar face to create a planar face or nothing if it is impossible.

Note
Please note, that the resulting face can have a huge tolerance, if the initial wire has a big deviation from the plane. If the final tolerance exceeds 1e-06, a warning will be shown, but the face will be created and published in the study in a normal way. Using such faces can lead to failures or unpredictable results in most operations.


The Result will be a GEOM_Object (FACE).


TUI Command: geompy.MakeFaceWires([list of Shapes], isPlanarWanted)
Arguments: Name + 1 wire.
