I am having trouble selecting faces via their PID. I obtain the PIDs via the PID  collector, but now am stuck at selecting the returned objects from the PID.

This is what I am trying right now with little success. My final goal is to make an intersection sketch using these selected faces. Right now, I use the Select by ID, but as expected am having issues getting the right faces.

Dim pid1 as string
pid1 = "xxxxxxxx <Long PID here>"
Set Swobj = GetObjectFromString(swApp, Part, pid1)
     If Not Nothing Is Swobj Then
    Dim swSelMgr As SldWorks.SelectionMgr
        Dim seldat As SelectData
        Set swSelMgr = Part.SelectionManager
        Set seldat = swSelMgr.CreateSelectData
        boolstatus = swSelMgr.AddSelectionListObject(Swobj, seldat)
        Debug.Print boolstatus
    Else
        Debug.Print "  ModelDocExtension::GetObjectByPersistReference3 broken"
    End If
Function GetObjectFromString(swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks, swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2, IDstring As String) As Object
    Dim swModExt                    As SldWorks.ModelDocExtension
    Dim ByteStream()                As Byte
    Dim vPIDarr                     As Variant
    Dim nRetval                     As Long
    Dim i                           As Long
    Set swModExt = swModel.Extension
    ReDim ByteStream(Len(IDstring) / 3 - 1)
    For i = 0 To Len(IDstring) - 3 Step 3
        ByteStream(i / 3) = CByte(Mid(IDstring, i + 1, 3))
    Next i
    vPIDarr = ByteStream
    Set GetObjectFromString = swModExt.GetObjectByPersistReference3((vPIDarr), nRetval)
    Debug.Assert swPersistReferencedObject_Ok = nRetval
    Debug.Assert Not GetObjectFromString Is Nothing
End Function

Is there something I am missing?
