opSplitFace - Invalid Input

I hoping someone can explain to me why this script is failing:
Ultimately this is to be part of a more complicated script. I wrote this simple script to troubleshoot and apparently I don't understand what opSplitFace is expecting for "faceTargets" and "bodyTools". I've tried to specify the input faces a few different ways but haven't had any success yet.

"bodyTools" name suggests that bodies are expected, but you are supplying faces. If you want to be selecting faces as tools, you can use
opExtractSurface() to create a sheet body coincident with the face.

This did work, although documentation for opExtractSurface was difficult to find. If anyone comes across this discussion in a search for help here is the code that worked:opExtractSurface(context, id + "extract", {"faces" : splittingFace});opSplitFace(context, id + "splitFace1", {
"faceTargets" : targetFace,
"bodyTools" : qCreatedBy(id + "extract", EntityType.BODY)
});

Thanks for pointing out that `opExtractSurface` is hidden from documentation. We will fix this up soon.Jake Rosenfeld - Modeling Team0

Instead of extracting you can actually use the "faceTools" field into opSplitFace rather than the "bodyTools" field. I'll have to go update that documentation too...Jake Rosenfeld - Modeling Team0
