Parameters
----------

Returns
-------

[docs] def findAt(self, coordinates: tuple, normal: tuple = (), printWarning: Boolean = True):
"""This method returns the object or objects in the FaceArray located at the given
coordinates.
findAt initially uses the ACIS tolerance of 1E-6. As a result, findAt returns any face
that is at the arbitrary point specified or at a distance of less than 1E-6 from the
arbitrary point. If nothing is found, findAt uses the tolerance for imprecise geometry
(applicable only for imprecise geometric entities). The arbitrary point must not be
shared by a second face. If two faces intersect or coincide at the arbitrary point,
findAt chooses the first face that it encounters, and you should not rely on the return
value being consistent.
findAt will always try to find objects among all the faces in the part or assembly
instance and will not restrict itself to a subset even if the FaceArray represents such
subset.
Parameters
----------
coordinates
A sequence of Floats specifying the *X*-, *Y*-, and *Z*-coordinates of the object to
find.findAt returns either a Face object or a sequence of Face objects based on the type
of input.If *coordinates* is a sequence of Floats, findAt returns the Face object at
that point.If you omit the *coordinates* keyword argument, findAt accepts as arguments a
sequence of pairs of sequences describing each face's coordinate and normal, and findAt
returns a sequence of Face objects at the given locations. If you omit the *coordinates*
keyword argument, you must also omit the *normal* argument.
`faces = f.findAt(((-16.438578, -41.835673, -24.19804), ), ((25.210364, -35.689868, 1.860314), ), ((26.727683, -38.207055, 4.164759), ))`
normal
A sequence of Floats specifying the *X*-, *Y*-, and *Z*-components of a vector
indicating the face normal.
printWarning
A Boolean specifying whether a message is to be printed to the CLI if no entity is found
at the specified location. The default value is True.
Returns
-------
A Face object.

coordinates
A sequence of a sequence of floats, where each sequence of floats describes the *X*-,
*Y*-, and *Z*-coordinates of a
point.`r=f.getClosest(coordinates=((20.0,20.0,10.0),(-1.0, -15.0, 15),))``r.keys()``[0,

searchTolerance
A double specifying the distance within which the closest object must lie. The default
value is half of the parent part/instance size.
Returns
-------
This method returns a dictionary object. The key to the dictionary object is the
position of the input point in the tuple specified in the *coordinates* starting at
index 0. If a closest face could be found then the value is a sequence consisting of two
objects. The first object in the sequence is a Face that is close to the input point
referred to by the key. The second object in the sequence is a sequence of floats that
specifies the *X*-, *Y*-, and *Z*-location of the closest point on the Face to the given
point. See program listing above.
Raises
------
- An exception occurs if the resulting sequence is empty.
Error: The mask results in an empty sequence
