To make an edge invisible, you can enter a negative vertex number for the
beginning vertex of the edge.
You can create polygons with any number of edges. PFACE automatically
breaks them into multiple face objects with the appropriate invisible edges.
Faces with one or two vertices behave like point or line objects without the
special properties of Point Display modes or linetypes. You can use them to
embed wireframe images within a mesh. Use Endpoint object snap to snap to
a face composed of one or two vertices. All object snap modes that apply to
line objects work with visible edges of polyface meshes. You cannot use PEDIT
to edit polyface meshes.
Color Faces created with PFACE adopt the current layer and color. Unlike
polyline vertices, polyface mesh faces can be created with layer and color
properties different from their parent object.
You can enter a color from the AutoCAD Color Index (a color name or
number), a true color, or a color from a color book.
Layer Faces created with PFACE adopt the current layer and color. Unlike
polyline vertices, polyface mesh faces can be created with layer and color
properties different from their parent object. Layer visibility behaves normally
on faces of a polyface mesh. However, if you create a polyface mesh on a
frozen layer, the program does not generate any of its faces, including those
on non-frozen layers.
