  Hello,
  
  Do you know how to identify by script if a selected body is at the root or if the body belongs to a component ?
  
  Thanks,

  Hello Subashni,
  
  Here is what I would like to do:
  
  -the user makes a selection of a face. (ok)
  -if the body to which the face belongs is at the root then do "operation 1"
  -if the body to which the face belongs is in a component then do "operation 2"
  
  So the goal is according to the selection made by the user, to know if the body is at the root or placed in a component.
  
  Thanks

  Hello GUICAD
  
  As I'm not an expert with scripting, I checked with my Team on this and here is a sample script that identifies bodies based on location either root or components and then moves them to root and reorganize with the volume of the body. (check image)
  
  You may take ideas from this and maybe develop a script to identify the body based on face selection.
  
  Please let me know if you need further guidance on this?
