Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

This "facet" function creates a body with a "Facet" shape which is
necessarily a triangle [1]. You may however define a second adjacent
"facet" so that you would eventually have a rectangle (made of two YADE
bodies).

Or, maybe more simply, you may use other shapes, such as (infinite) Walls [2], or Boxes [3].
Bodies with such shape can also be easily created with built-in functions [4,5]
