A facet is a generic object used to access a PolygonMesh's PolygonFace and a NurbsSurfaceMesh's NurbsSurface. Having a generic object allows you to write code to traverse an object's geometry without resorting to special case handling for specific geometry types.

Tip: To work with the more specific geometry types, you can use the Facet.SubComponent property which returns a SubComponent object. The SubComponent allows you to access the PolygonFaceCollection and NurbsSurfaceCollection via the SubComponent.ComponentCollection property.
