Hi all! I'm quite new to SW API, understanding the structure is very much a work in progress. 

The end goal of the code is to iterate through Cut-List-Item folders and rename them to the name of the first body found in the folder after creating a bounding box for each set. 

The bounding box creation I've got figured out (courtesy of a script written Matt Martens), but I cannot manage to get the names of the elements in each folder.

Any advise would be fantastic!
