select face

[mdrummond]

I want to programatically select two faces by their name (which are prenamed, so I know the name) and mate the two faces. I am having big trouble programmatically selecting these faces. All examples have a precondition that the objects are preselected. SelectByID2 doesn't seem to pick the face, even though I know i have the proper face name. Select4 seems to only work if items are preselected. I am a beginner, can anyone help me out?

There are some macros that work with surfaces. Check out

and possibly

for examples.

Need code examples. Didn't see anything on those sites that described how ot select a face with vb rather than the user pre-selecting.
