public List<ModelObject> FetchModelObjects(
	List<string> Guids,
	bool SelectInstances = true
)

The GUID list to look for in the model.
SelectInstances (Optional)
Type: SystemBoolean
Optional parameter whether object is selected, default = true.

Examples
Guids of selected model objects are stored to list and fetched using guid list:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Tekla.Structures.Model;
using TSMU = Tekla.Structures.Model.UI;

public class Example
{
    public void Example1()
    {
        Model model = new Model();

        var selector = new TSMU.ModelObjectSelector();
        var selection = selector.GetSelectedObjects();
        var guidList = new List<string>();

        foreach (ModelObject obj in selection)
        {
            var ro = obj as ReferenceModelObject;
            string guid = string.Empty;
            if (ro != null)
            {
                if(ro.GetReportProperty("EXTERNAL.GUID", ref guid))
                    guidList.Add(guid);
            }
            else
            {
                guidList.Add(obj.Identifier.GUID.ToString());
            }
        }

        var objList = model.FetchModelObjects(guidList, false);

        MessageBox.Show(objList.Count.ToString() + " objects found.");
    }
}
