Faces
autocad_entity: autocad_face
Features with autocad_entity set to autocad_face are stored as AutoCAD face entities. Additional attributes are used to define the visibility of the edges of the Face entity. Faces will be represented as surfaces with autocad_entity set to autocad_surface.
See Surfaces for details.
Face surfaces are one-sided: they are only visible from one view direction. A face is visible when its normal points toward the observer. If the vertices of the outer boundary of the face are observed to be in anti-clockwise order, then the normal of the face points toward the observer, implying that the face is visible.
