Description
The function ComponentGetFirstFreeGeomFace is used together with the function HM_ExtAPI::ComponentGetNextFreeGeomFace() to iterate through all free faces contained in the component. The call to ComponentGetFirstFreeGeomFace resets internal component counter to the first face.

If the function succeeds, the return value is true. If the function fails, the return value is false. To get extended value information, call HM_ExtAPI::GetLastErrorCode().
