                                           RemoteException

Returns the selection type. Users can provide a set of faces where the edge can be inferred automatically or specify a single pair of a Face and an edge(Placement Edge).
License requirements: None.

Returns the select placement faces.
If the Selection Type is EndCutBuilder.SelectionTypes.FACES_WITH_ATTRIBUTES this list can contain multiple faces and each face must be a valid endcut face, i.e. faces with SAW_SIZE and SAW_SIZE2 attributes whose value is same as the Perpendicular EndCut Name defined in the customer defaults. If the Selection Type is EndCutBuilder.SelectionTypes.FACE_AND_EDGE , this list must contain a single face. Each face will result in a separate EndCut feature. If an existing EndCut feature is queried, it will contain a single face in this list.
