journal to id body from face selection for extrusion

[multicaduser]

Sorry, the title is not exactly clear as to what I'm trying to accomplish. In writing a journal to extrude the face of a solid, selecting the face is easy, adding a second pick to select the body for the boolean is easy.

What I'd like to do is with one pick is select the face to extrude, reverse direction for extrusion from face normal(usually a planer face), and identify the body for the boolean operation. It's getting the vector change and body id from the face selection that are stumping me, well the vector is something I don't understand.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you have a reference to a face object, you can use the .GetBody method to get a reference to the body that contains the face.
