Exclude Faces Before Flattening Example (VB.NET)

This example shows how to exclude faces from a Flat-Pattern feature.

' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Preconditions: Verify that the specified part to open exists.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Opens the specified part.
' 2. Excludes 22 faces from Flat-Pattern1.
' 3. Unsuppresses Flat-Pattern1.
' 4. Examine the graphics area and FeatureManager design tree.
'
' NOTE: Because the model is used elsewhere,
' do not save changes.
