Projetar rostos corporais em esboços

Prezados, comecei a desenvolver um código VBA que deve: 1- pedir para o usuário selecionar uma face de qualquer corpo no CATPART atual. 2- uma vez feito isso, o VBA deve extrair essa superfície em um conjunto geométrico e criar 3 pontos no contorno dessa superfície. 3- com base nesses pontos, criar um plano e, por fim, projetar o contorno da superfície dentro de um esboço.

abaixo do meu código, não funciona. Ele exibe incompatibilidade de tipo sem especificar onde.

A imagem descreve mais ou menos o que eu quero. NB: a parte do gato pode conter formas complexas, por isso a superfície extraída precisa estar em tangência
