#### 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)

```
