Selects elements by type, name, profile, material, finish, phase, saved filter or GUID, and switches to their assemblies or main parts.
Inserts and removes components on selected elements, including lifting anchors from a configurable anchor table.
Reads element properties such as weight, and reads or sets user-defined attributes.
Performs boolean cuts using class 0 parts and converts cut geometry into real parts.

Configuration is preset for Tekla 2023; other versions need the paths in config/settings.json changed.
Functional tests change the open model, so the author says to run them only on test models.
