f = model2d.select([1,1],[2,2],types=['face'],option='green')           #Select the face of first polygon
model2d.del_shapes(f)                                                   #Delete the face
model2d.add_polygons([[[0,0],[2,0],[2,2]],[[2,0],[5,0],[5,5],[3,5]]])       #Add two polygons
v = model2d.select([2,2],types=['vertex'])                              #Select vertex
model2d.del_shapes(v)                                                   #Delete vertex and all shapes defined by vertex
