Creating a Script to Import A Model, then Scale It

Is it possible to use Fusion API to import a model?  I'm new to the Fusion API community, but this is the general idea of what I'm trying to do:

 

1. The user selects a circular profile from a sketch.

2. The script is run, and it imports a pre-made Body from outside the current design

3. The imported body's coordinate is matched to the plane and location of the selected circle's center

3. The model is Scaled to a specific size, which is determined by the diameter of the selected circle.

 

Does this make sense? Basically, all I really need to get past my roadblock is to know if it is posible to import a Body from outside the current design.  If this is possible, then how would I go about doing this?

The ability to import a model is not currently supported but is planned for the next major release which is currently planned for sometime in September.  I believe you should be able to do what you want then.
