#### VolumeSweeper.stack\_base\_face(part\_id, base\_face\_ids, topo\_volume\_ids, params)

Generate volume mesh by stacking a meshed face.

This method generates volume mesh by stacking a meshed face, layer by layer, along the given direction. It calculates the stack layers using size controls and global size parameters.

- **Parameters:**
    
    **part\_id**: ID of the part.
    
    **base\_face\_ids: Iterable\[int\]**: IDs of the base faces to stack.
    
    **topo\_volume\_ids**: IDs of the volumes to mesh.
    
    **params**: Mesh stacker parameters.
- **Returns:**
    
    [`MeshStackerResults`](ansys.meshing.prime.MeshStackerResults.md#ansys.meshing.prime.MeshStackerResults): Results from generating the volume mesh.
- **Return type:**
    
    [`MeshStackerResults`](ansys.meshing.prime.MeshStackerResults.md#ansys.meshing.prime.MeshStackerResults)

### Examples

```pycon
>>> results = volumesweeper.stack_base_face(part_id, base_face_ids, topo_volume_ids, params)
