Abstract
The paper proves a theorem on polytopal fans and face polytopes that can be treated as an intermediate value theorem for face polytopes. According to this theorem if all fans FS obtained from a fan F by replacing one of its cones K with a subdivision S of K in some set H are polytopal, then the fan F is polytopal as well. Moreover, if PS, S ∈ H, are arbitrary face polytopes of the fans FS, then some positive combination of PS, S ∈ H, is a face polytope of the fan F. The reverse of the theorem is not true.
