Check Bodies for Faults Example (VBA)

This example shows how to check the solid and sheet bodies in a part for faults.

'--------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open a part document.
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Checks the bodies in the part document.
' 2. Examine the Immediate window.
