Portions of my model are 2D axisymetric and other portions are 3D. I've created 2 model nodes to handle these two geometries, we'll call them 'geom2' for 2D and 'geom3' for 3D. My 3D features are just extrusions of the 2D counterparts, so what I want to do is copy over my 2D results to my 3D workplanes. However, many of my 2D features are formed from multiple features and operation like an intersection of two polygons for example. When I try to copy the resulting intersection, it only takes the boolean operation, without taking the input to the boolean operation along with. I could copy over every single feature, operation, transformation, etc. but this seems tedious and redundant.

The two model node approach is what seemed to work in the GUI. Is there another approach?

What's the easiest means of creating my 3D geometry from my 2D features?

If there's no way to get around regenerating each and every 2D features in the 'geom3' work plane, is there a way I can get the input used for the operations and transformation from the model object? The hope would be just to create a function that discovers the input tags and automates the copy process.

I've included a model file below which illustrates what I want to do.
