# Synopsis

PDX_MSGT picr_Face(long option, int model, MDA_PTR orig_db_ptr, int tag, int identifier, MDA_COUNT n_loops, MDA_PTR *loops, MDA_PTR surface, int surf_orient, MDA_PTR *face_ptr)

# Purpose

Create the PINT model Face entity.

# Description

This function creates a PINT Face entity for the given input data. The data provided must result in a valid definition. The orig_db_ptr argument should contain the database pointer of the entity that the new entity was created from (usually this should be obtained by the calling routine via mda_GetOrigDbptr) or MDA_NULL_PTR. See the mda_intro man page for more information about predecessor entities.
