Create 3D Face

Does anyone know if you can create 3D Faces in the latest API? Not client graphics though. I want to create faces to knit together as a solid later on.

The only approach to this that is currently
supported is the ability to create features that are surfaces.  For example
you can create a sketch with a single line and extrude this to create a planar
face.  These features/faces can then be stitched together into a
solid.

 

I understand that this is most likely not what you
want to do though.  The ability to explicity create a face given the
surface definition is not currently supported.  This is something that is
on the "to do" list for the future.  I don't know when it might be
available.

Thanx Brian,

The idea was to write an STL file importer - that's why I wanted to create 3D faces. I suppose the other way will be to convert the file to IGES or ACIS first instead.
