Create a sheet through a solid

I need to create a sheet body cut through a solid. This cut must be done on a conic section (I have the conic face).

I've got one that I've done by creating a copy of my solid, then intersecting with the conic face. But this produces a disassociated sheet. (I need the association as I need to be able to ask each created edge from which feature has it been created from).

Is there any way (in UgOpen) that I can do this?

The function UF_MODL_create_section_surface "sounds" promising, but there's no info on how to use this!

Help much appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve
 
Can you extract the face you need (or a region) and trim your solid to that? An extract feature would retain associativity.
 
Thanks, that's almost there!

If I create using method above then the edges a get back are associated to the conic from which I extracted the face, but unlike on an intersection, when I ask the edge what faces it was generated from I only get the conic back. I need to find out which face of the "main" solid it also came from.

Any ideas?
 
Have you tried to intersect a face pair at a time?
