Faces Property

Description

Returns a collection of faces of a specified type that belong to a model, a feature, or a topology object.

Property type

Read-only property

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Property Faces( _ ByVal FaceType As FeatureTopologyQueryTypeConstants _ ) As Object

Parameters

FaceType

Value	Description
igQueryAll	Feature Topology Query Type - All
igQueryCone	Feature Topology Query Type - Cone
igQueryCylinder	Feature Topology Query Type - Cylinder
igQueryEllipse	Feature Topology Query Type - Ellipse
igQueryPlane	Feature Topology Query Type - Plane
igQueryRoundable	Feature Topology Query Type - Roundable
igQuerySphere	Feature Topology Query Type - Sphere
igQuerySpline	Feature Topology Query Type - Spline
igQueryStraight	Feature Topology Query Type - Straight
igQueryTorus	Feature Topology Query Type - Torus

Remarks

The result of the Faces property is a topology collection. This topology collection is a temporary collection and is overwritten the next time the Edges, Faces, or FacesByRay property is used. By default, the Faces property returns all faces for the object. The topology collection can be restricted to a specified type of face by supplying a value (from the FeatureTopologyQueryTypeConstants constant set) for the FaceType argument for the feature objects only. For example, this property can be set to return all faces that are spheres.

        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
        Finally
            OleMessageFilter.Revoke()
