Start a sketch on a specific plane or face.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
```js
 | 
						||
startSketchOn(data: SketchData, tag?: SketchOnFaceTag) -> SketchSurface
 | 
						||
```
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
### Examples
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
```js
 | 
						||
const exampleSketch = startSketchOn("XY")
