What query will give me the solid body that owns a face?

I have a face, and I thought this would give me the body that owns it:
But that just gives me the face again. I also tried
but that gives the same thing too. The body is a user-created body so i do not have programmatic access to the id to use qCreatedBy.
This code works, but its really insane just to find the owning body:
Shouldn't you be able to find the solid body that owns a face using qOwnerBody? I think this code will generally work but its pretty nasty and there are some corners in which we could find multiple bodies if we happened to have a face on a boundary between two solids.
var theBody = qOwnerBody(definition.face );

var theBody = qOwnerBody(qOwnerBody(definition.face));

oh sorry, in that last code i pasted an older version, sorry.
the last part should be<div> var tangentPlane = evFaceTangentPlane(context, {</div><div> "face" : definition.surface,</div><div> "parameter" : vector(0.5, 0.5)</div><div> }); of course the above returns a surface, not a tangent plane.</div>0 -
qOwnerBody should work -- assuming the face is on that body and not, say, part of a different body (perhaps a surface body). I'm surprised it gives you a face. Does the output of debug(context, qOwnerBody(definition.face)) confirm that it resolves to one face?Ilya Baran \ VP, Architecture and FeatureScript \ Onshape Inc0

Yes, it does. I also sebugged it graphically to see what it selected too.
This is a pretty large project, so like that other extrude weirdness I'll try to narrow it down to an easier repro before having you look into it0
