How to move or scale a facet? In my opinion, 1. get the 3 vertices of the facet. 2. give a increment to x coordinate of the 3 vertices (e.g., move in x direction). 3. the facet move automatically, if not, use the new vertices to generate a new facet and remove the old one. 
But i find the vertices obtained by the method of 'body.shape.vertices'  are not the  vertices i use to define the facet. 
Here is the codes, 
### define a facet using 3 points 
v1 =(0,0,0)
v2 = (1,0,0)
v3 =(1,1,0)
f1 = facet((v1,v2,v3),wire=False)
O.bodies.append(f1)

### get the vertices of the facet 
for eb in O.bodies:
    print(eb.state.pos)
    print(eb.shape.vertices)

The result is, 
Vector3(0.7071067811865475,0.2928932188134525,0)
[Vector3(-0.7071067811865475,-0.2928932188134525,0), Vector3(0.29289321881345254,-0.2928932188134525,0), Vector3(0.29289321881345254,0.7071067811865475,0)]

So what is the meaning of the 3 vertices? How to move or scale a facet? 

Thanks, 
Xuesong
