  I will have to check with the development team to see if this can be done.
  
  The syntax for the selection of the face (using the Index values) is
  
  Selection.Create(GetRootPart().Bodies[0].Faces[0])
  
  and for the body it would be
  
  Selection.Create(GetRootPart().Bodies[0])
  
  If you are using the Smart ID, it is Selection.Create(Body1)
  
  I'm not sure if there is a way to have the script automatically select the parent
