Is it possible to enable selection while importing part using featurescript code?

I am importing a solid part. And I want to apply some transformations on importing solid part so that I can align it to Y-Axis. If I can select the desired cylinder face of importing solid part, then I can easily align it to Y-Axis.

Selections can only be made of geometry that exists before the feature is executed. The rationale here is that the feature is run with some set of inputs, which produce an output. One of its inputs cannot be something that is created during the feature, because then it would not actually resolve to anything until halfway through the feature.Jake Rosenfeld - Modeling Team5
