GetFaceId Method (IFace2)

Gets the face ID of an imported body.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function GetFaceId() As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IFace2
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.GetFaceId()
C# 
int GetFaceId()
C++/CLI 
int GetFaceId(); 

Return Value

Face ID

Remarks

SolidWorks uses the face ID to track the specific faces of imported bodies (for example, IGES imports).

The face ID is a persistent ID that is not saved with the document. Any third-party application can change the face ID. The intent is that you will assign an ID value to a particular face so that you can refer to that face within your application. Each ID value must be unique, so it is best to let SolidWorks assign ID value for you when an imported body or surface is created.

Use the IAttribute object to store data with a face.
