Looping through selected faces to get section properties

The following example code outputs section properties for all selected faces together. I am looking to modify this code to output the section properties for all selected faces individually.

My initial thought is to add a For loop at vSelObj = swSelObj but I do not know how to index through the objects.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

'-----------------------------------------------------

' Preconditions:

' 1. Open a part, fully resolved assembly, or drawing.

' 2. Select one of the following:

' * Sketch

' * Planar model face

' * Face on a section plane

' * Crosshatch section face in a section view

' in a drawing or a sketch

' 3. Open the Immediate window.

'

' Postconditions:

' 1. Maintains the selection set. (See NOTES)

' 2. Examine the Immediate window.

'

' NOTES:

' * Array of objects passed into this method are

' added to the selection set.

' * Outputted values are the same as those obtained

' through the user interface.

' * Reasons for failures are the same as those

' in the user interface.
