Sorry for the miscommunication..

I am asking about  *createmark "on plane" ..can we search elements in particular component while searching for elements using createmark "on plane" .

One more question..

Can we define direction while searching closestnodes using hm_getclosestnode.

Say i want to get closest nodes which are  in "X" direction.ignore if any node is close to "z-dir" then "x-dir".

Thank you pandurang for ur help
