Faces Property

The faces that belong to the solid.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 17.0.0.0 (17.0.1090.0)

Syntax

C# 
public FaceArray Faces { get; }
Visual Basic 
Public ReadOnly Property Faces As FaceArray
	Get
Visual C++ 
public:
property FaceArray^ Faces {
	FaceArray^ get ();
}

Remarks

A face may be degenerate. This can be determined with the Face property IsTwoSided.

Examples

Copy C# 
private void GetFacesAndEdges(Wall wall)
{
    String faceInfo = "";

    Autodesk.Revit.DB.Options opt = new Options();
    Autodesk.Revit.DB.GeometryElement geomElem = wall.get_Geometry(opt);
    foreach (GeometryObject geomObj in geomElem)
    {
        Solid geomSolid = geomObj as Solid;
        if (null != geomSolid)
        {
            int faces = 0;
            double totalArea = 0;
            foreach (Face geomFace in geomSolid.Faces)
            {
                faces++;
                faceInfo += "Face " + faces + " area: " + geomFace.Area.ToString() + "\n";

            }
        }

    TaskDialog.Show("Revit",faceInfo);
