I have about 200 motors that I need to add a plane to on the shaft face circled below. Where would I start with writing a macro to add that plane to each motor?
I cant use the face number because it changes for each motor.
Could I use a bounding box and create a plane on one side of the bounding box?
Any help would be much appreciated.
The macro in this post seems like the best place to start.

Partially this would assume that the end of the shaft is the furthest from a selected plane (programmably select the Right plane).
Are the shafts off all of them centralized in Front and Top planes like the one you posted?
If they are, I would try SelectByRay Method (IModelDocExtension)
I think it should do the job
EDIT:
Example here Select Face Using Intersecting Ray Example (VBA)
