[Solved] Names for faces, edges and vertices?

Take note that this is the source of the TNP problem so the unique name is not so robust if the solid is transformed.

See maybe:

Please could you delete the duplicated post?

And maybe if the answers are solving your problem, modify first post title (you could edit it) and add [Solved] at beginning.
