Using ACT, how can I create a Named Selection that will regroup the geometric entities scoped in two other Named Selection?

Let's assume there are already two face named selection in the tree, named MyNS1 and MyNS2.

• To create another Named Selection, one can use:

    NamedSelections=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.NamedSelections
    MyNewNS=NamedSelections.AddNamedSelection()
  

• The name of this new Named Selection can be changed through:

    MyNewNS.Name="MyNS3"
  

• To define the scoping of this third Named Selection, one should first retrieve the list of Ids of the geometry scoped in MyNS1 and MyNS2:

    for NS in NamedSelections.Children:
        if NS.Name=="MyNS1":
            MyIds1=NS.Ids
        if NS.Name=="MyNS2":
            MyIds2=NS.Ids
    MyIds3=MyIds1+MyIds2
  

• Lastly, let's assign the list MyIds3 to the scoping of MyNS3:

    temp_sel=ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
    temp_sel.Ids=MyIds3
    MyNewNS.Location=temp_sel
