How to access wire?

RS 5.12.02
The API Help states that CreateParametricCurveU creates a new wire body on the surface of a face.
So I create a wire body with: [CODE]Dim MyFace As Face
Dim bdyWire As Body
bdyWire = Body.CreateParametricCurveU(MyFace, 0) [/CODE]
I now wish to make use of the wire so I try: [CODE]Dim WireStart As Vertex
WireStart = bdyWire.EndVertex [/CODE]
... but this does not work because bdyWire is a body, not a wire, so EndVertex is not a valid property.
I have searched Help but cannot see how to access the wire.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
You can access the wire like this:
[code]bdyWire.Shells[0].Wires[0]
[/code]

Thanks Johannes,
For clarity, the syntax required is:
[CODE]WireStart = bdyWire.Shells.Item(0).Wires.Item(0).StartVertex[/CODE]
Regards,
Kevin
