Import entities from different part studio

Hi,
I am looking for a method to import a geometrical entity (for e.g. surface) from part studio with Feature script. Tried with PartStudioData(Filter: "PartStudioItemType.SURFACE") but not working. Please let me know if anybody have suggestions. Thanks.

    Please take a look at Instantiator

    @NeilCooke Thanks for the reply. As i understand, instantiator duplicates complete part studio & not entity from part studio. Please correct me if i am wrong.

    Correct. Instantiator brings in the entire context. In the past I have tagged entities in the Part Studio with attributes, then filtered the context by attributes. If you can’t get this to work I will share an example next week.

    I believe the instantiator has some filtering. I recall being able to for for bodies only for example.

    To be specific, requirement is to select a surface from different part studio created by different user. Something similar to "Derived" option but through feature script.

    In that case, it’s easy. Take a look at reference parameters (there’s a code snippet in the menus at the top). You can see it in action in the Beams feature when adding a custom profile.
