How to use Lyrebird to place "Generic Model face based"?

At first, thanks for sharing this great plug-in. It's very useful for me. But I saw this component have one input called "Orientation on face", so I think I can use this to place Generic Model face based. But I can't find any introduction about that. Could you help me and tell me how to use it?

I don't have much documentation on that feature, and I think it's probably the weakest placement option right now. The way it works is placing a family by face requires you to give it a vector to orient it on the face. The origin point will locate the element and face it should host to (assuming there's a face there) and the Orientation on Face just determines what direction the object is rotated on the face.

I haven't done much testing on this other than to make sure it will locate an object onto a face, but I'm not confident that I've figured out the orientation just yet. Something to experiment with I guess.
