Get Nozzle reference from an Equipment entity

I would like to know how can I get all the equipment's nozzles as new entities getting all the information for those new entities.

 

I tried using the Explode method which give me all the internal objects as new entities, however here I lose the information like the Ids or all the identifiers.

 

How can I get these entities with the original ids or at least getting that information for those nozzles attached to that Equipment.

Nozzle items cannot exist without an Equipment item host. It's not clear what your purpose is for the information, so it's hard to advise the best way to retrieve it. The most straight-forward ways are to use Report Creator or Data Manager.

Basically what I want to know is if there is a way to know the Handle.Id of a Nozzle when it has been exploded from the Equipment Entity.

 

When I explode an Equipment I get multiple Entities, but they do not contained any Id. I would like to know how I can get the Nozzles references or Ids after using the Explode method with the Equipment entity, or even before could also work, saving those Nozzles Ids and then extract the geometry separately only for those Nozzles getting the properties too.

@w_martinezKQWBR ,

 

just once again to help you understand how AutoCAD Plant 3D works.
We work with an object-oriented database and NO entities are written to the objects but only via the PnPID in the database.
As soon as you explode a P3D object, only a block with the 3D solid remains but no information from the database.
So you will not get any information this way.
