  Create a face
  
Select one or several faces in viewer. Additionally, a face can be build by a closed wire or a set of edges composing a closed wire.

It is possible to build a non-planar face by selecting non-planar wire or set of edges composing a closed wire, which do not belong to only one plane.

It is also possible to select a whole sketch result from the object browser. In this case, the smallest closed contour of the sketch will be transformed to the planar face.

**Apply** button creates faces.

**Cancel** button cancels the operation. 

**TUI Command**:

.. py:function:: model.addFace(Part_doc, Shapes)

    :param part: The current part object.
    :param list: A list of shapes.
    :return: Result object.

The result of the operation will be a set of faces created from the selected shapes:

  :align: center
