i think the face is the planar surface between 4 or three points ... as in mesh faces which define points order....as data structure

but surface is not always plannar ... could be nurbs ..(B-spline) ...or develop-able etc

frame = PLANE ... a work environment where all points has at least a common parameter ...z for example

and its defined by origin and two vectors x & y

Thank you guys! It would be great if there is a description with figures, it is hard to understand the differences without a figure. Unfortunately I have not found it in any manual... :(
