    by 2D component you mean geometry with surface only, or do you mean components that have 2d elements only?

     

    if it is elments, you could use:

    *createmark

    "by config" configsPlace entities on mark_id if they are of the specified config.All element and load config names/IDs are valid.

     

    *createmark elems 1 "by config" tria3 tria6 quad4 quad8
