Now the first goal, importing a solid and use it as a part of a scripted solution, is achieved.\r\n\r\nLet's talk about the second goal: extracting the imported STEP model's profiles for further use.\r\n[Reference image] https://github.com/huskier/images/blob/master/STEPModelProfile.png\r\nThe profile in the above image is captured from a section bar model (https://github.com/huskier/images/blob/master/SectionBar.step). The profile is quite complex. We prefer extracting the profile from model to drawing ourselves. I've been stuck at myShape.faces(\"<Y\").wires(). Any ideas how to do this? Thanks.\r\n\r\n```\r\nimport cadquery as cq\r\nfrom Helpers import show\r\nfrom cadquery.freecad_impl import importers\r\nmyShape = importers.importStep(\"E:/siom-work/FreeCAD/SectionBar.step\")\r\nprint myShape.faces(\"<Y\").wires()\r\n```\r\n\r\n"}}
