The routine faces returns the faces of the given polyhedron.

Each face is represented as a list of coordinates of its vertices which are listed in counter-clockwise order as viewed from outside the polyhedron.

The command with(geom3d,faces) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{geom3d}\right)\:$
