Are there advanced tutorials on ilogic and/or iPart?

I am trying to get more experience with iParts and iLogic. Are there advanced tutorials on ilogic and/or iPart? Specifically:

Updating a custom weight parameter column using the calculated mass for all ipart members. The current code I have written updates the sq_in and Weight column but requires each member to be activated. Since one of the iPart's has over 200 itterations, this becomes a laborious process.

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

'Create Flat Pattern
Dim oDoc As PartDocument
oDoc = ThisDoc.Document
'ensure this part has a flat pattern
Dim oSMDef As SheetMetalComponentDefinition
oSMDef = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
If oSMDef.FlatPattern Is Nothing Then
'tell the user there is no flat pattern
MessageBox.Show("Creating the flat pattern", "iLogic")
Else
'tell the user there is a flat pattern
MessageBox.Show("Updating current flat pattern", "iLogic")
End If

'Populate the SQ_IN in custom iProperties

iProperties.Value("Custom", "SQ_IN")=Round(SheetMetal.FlatExtentsArea,1)
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Weight") = iProperties.Mass
