Catgeo call is:

GCWFAC(MNUM, NDOM, NBEDG, JEDG, JFAC, IER, *)
where input:
NDOM I4 # of domains
NBEDE(NDOM) I4 # of edges / domain
JEDG(NBEDGT) I4 Addr of each edge/domain
where (NBEDGT =
NBEDG(1)+.....+NBEDG(NDOM)

I am continuously getting an error when making this call.
My code looks like:
INTEGER*4 NDOM !num of domains
INTEGER*4 NBEDG(100) !num of edges per domain
INTEGER*4 JLIN(1000,100) !each edge addr per domain
INTEGER*4 JFAC !fac
CALL(1,NDOM, NBEDG, JLIN, JFAC,IER, *)
The error I'm getting is #27 - ELEMENT TYPE IS INVALID!
Note: my JLIN elements are all lines projected onto a plane.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In order to use this routine to create a face, you must create the edges. Projecting a line to a plane wont cut it. The routine is looking for an edge type element (itypp = 12 not itypp=2 for line)
