If an open family document, (Metric Generic Model face based)… -is it possible to **access the family editor, and create f.ex an extrusion from Polygon.ByPoints**?

(I would like to automate creating custom “building parts” from machine-recognition-by-image, so that we can scan refurbished parts, and use them in future projects. )
