Parameters

elementId  ElementId
The element that the face belongs to.
face  Face

Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException The element elementId does not exist in the document -or- The element materialId does not exist in the document -or- The face doesn't belong to the element -or- The materialId doesn't specify a material element. -or- The element's face cannot be painted.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
ModificationForbiddenException The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
ModificationOutsideTransactionException The document has no open transaction.
