Get Selected Faces on Processed Body Example (VB.NET)
This example shows how to get the selected faces on a processed body.
'------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Verify that the specified part document template
' and part exist.
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Opens the specified part.
' 2. Creates a new part with an imported body
' from the processed body of the original part.
' 3. Gets the body in the new part and selects
' multiple faces on that body.
' 4. Examine the Immediate window.
'
' NOTE: Because the part is used elsewhere, do not
' save changes.
