Detailed description
This call retrieves the face of the bounding box intersected by the mouse. This is always the closest face to the screen.
thumb|none|Face numbers The faces of the bounding box are ordered according to the following table:
| Face | Position |
|---|---|
| 0 | XY plane, Z=-1 |
| 1 | YZ plane, X=-1 |
| 2 | XZ plane, Y=-1 |
| 3 | XZ plane, Y=1 |
| 4 | YZ plane, X=1 |
| 5 | XY plane, Z=1 |
Each face, when added to the opposite face on the cube, adds up to 5 (so each YZ face = 1 + 4 = 5).
