Hello, I've successfully created a measure that adds a Plantcomponent:UserDefined object to a model. The PCUD object is a proxy for an electric thermal storage device, and uses EMS programs to model its performance and control.

I wanted to customize my newly created component by adding a custom mini icon to it. I don't think it is feasible since it will require modifying the source code for the PCUD object but I am still wondering if this is even possible via the openstudio sdk using ruby? The only hint I found online is the IconLibrary Class Reference IconLibrary Class Reference on the sdk documentation which has methods findIcon and findMiniIcon. I am not sure what this is used for. any indications on how to achieve this?
