Catia VBA How to select the parent surface of an extract

[atancito]

I am working with SDD module of Catia V5R26 and I have some questions about that module.

I am working in a macro for a project and I would like to do three things. First two i don't have no idea:

Is it possible to create a new plate using an existing Extract?

If it is not possible and I have to create this manually, would it be able to change the actual thickness (created manually on SDD) of the plate?

Last question, is it able to get the color of the Extract surface parent that the final plate work with?

About last question, I am able to select the plate that i want and i can change the color but i need to know the color of the original Extract Surface parent.

Thank you very much in advances because i know that you are giving me your time for free!!

Hi, can you put model of that what you want to achieve?
I don't understand you, what is plate what is extract?

OK check the online doc as it does come with exemple of SDD creation. Using that I do not see any reason why you could not include your Extract in the code.

Modify the SDD thickness by code : I know I can change a thickness parameter that will make the geometry change but that is not the "true" SDD plate thickness parameter. I could not find a way to actually change the real SDD plate thickness, waiting for DS on this.

Find the parent surface from the SDD plate, not sure, have to go in CHM / online doc... but wait.. you can do that also!
Might have to bring EKL if VBA is not enough.

FYI I am using 3DX16X
