The script currently does not work with parts in different submodels.
a workaround would be to temporary put the cylinder head bricks into subModel-14, like so:
- open subModel-12 and go to nested mode.
- select one of the yellow cylinders
- click the 'insert into ...." text below the nested tab in the session panel (-12 should change to -14)
- select the 6 transparent heads and press ctrl+d
- put the copied part at the same position as their originals. (disable part snapping)
- open subModel-14.ldr
- run the macro
- go back to subModel-12.ldr (press end)
- undo the duplication (ctrl+z)
