This is my first attempt to automate some tedious tasks with the scripting language used by DesignModeler and I struggle to understand how to manipulate some of the options in a Slice operation.

I want to create two planes from a plane of reference and apply the Slice on them to cut one specific body. I can't figure out how to specify in the script that each Slice should target just one body and not all of them.

This is my script:

var plyz = agb.GetActivePlane() ;
var rotation = 90; //required rotation from orig plane
var offset = 0.121; //offset for cutting
var pl = [];
for (i=0; i<=1; i++)
{
 pl[i] = agb.PlaneFromPlane(plyz); // take this Type
 if (pl[i])
 {
  //pl[i].Name = "Slice_Plane_" + i; // Name the new planes
  pl[i].AddTransform(agc.XformXRotate, 90); //rotate
  pl[i].AddTransform(agc.XformZOffset, (2*i-1)*offset); //offset
  //slice
	agb.SetActivePlane(pl[i]);
	var feature = ag.gui.CreateSlice();
	ag.gui.Commit();
	feature.PutBasePlane(pl[i]);
	ag.gui.Regen();
 }
}

I read the Scripting API section on the DesignModeler's User Guide but I didn't find very enlightening. I also tried to dig in the ANSYS source files following this discussion, but I confess that I wasn't able to get much out of it, not even locate the command to select the active body.

Hope someone can help with this problem.
Thanks in advance,
