This example shows how to apply a texture to a face by display state and remove it by configuration.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions: Verify that the specified part to open exists.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the part and applies the texture to the selected face.
// 2. Press F5 to continue running the macro.
// 3. Examine the part to verify that the texture
