Parameters

Name	Type	Description
<Parameters>	Array	Structured array. Array("NAME:FaceCSParameters", <OriginArray>, "MoveToEnd:=", <boolean>, "FaceID:=", <integer>, <AxisPosnArray>, "WhichAxis:=" , <string "X", "Y", or "Z">, "ZRotationAngle:=" , <string>, "XOffset:=" , <string>, "YOffset:=" , <string>, "AutoAxis:=" , <boolean>)
<OriginArray>	Array	Structured array. Array("NAME:Origin", "IsAttachedToEntity:=" , <boolean>, "EntityID:=" , <integer>, "FacetedBodyTriangleIndex:=", <integer>, "TriangleVertexIndex:=" , <integer>, "PositionType:=" , <string "FaceCenter", "EdgeCenter", "OnVertex", "OnEdge", or "OnFace">, "UParam:=" , <float between 0 and 1 representing the relative position of the point on the edge or face>, "VParam:=" , <float between 0 and 1 representing the relative position of the point on the edge or face>, "XPosition:=" , <string>, "YPosition:=" , <string>, "ZPosition:=" , <string>) IsAttachedToEntity specifies whether the point is anchored to a vertex, edge, or face. If True, provide UParam and VParam. If False, provide XPosition, YPosition, and ZPosition to provide fixed position. Pass "0" for unused parameters.
