I have a script to set up my model and part of this should involve using a named selection (which came through from SpaceClaim) as the geometry for where a layered section is used. I can't find out how to use a named selection as an iSelectionInfo which is what the Location needs. I'm after something like this:

laySect = Model.Geometry.AddLayeredSection()

selection = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)  # Create an empty selection.
selection.Entities = ?  #  How to use the named selection as the Entities?
laySect.Location = selection

Any help will be much appreciated!

Say the named selection is called “MyBodyNamedSelection”
Sample code:

laySect = Model.Geometry.AddLayeredSection()

ExtAPI.SelectionManager.ClearSelection()
ns = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName(“MyBodyNamedSelection”)
laySect.Location = ns[0]

That's done the trick, thanks!
