VB6 Procedure

Function Merge(ByVal MergeTol As Double, ByRef NumberPoints As Long, ByRef PointName() As String) As Long

Parameters

MergeTol

Point objects within this distance of one another are merged into one point object. [L]

NumberPoints

The number of the selected point objects that still exist after the merge is complete.

PointName

This is an array of the name of each selected point object that still exists after the merge is complete.

Remarks

This function merges selected point objects that are within a specified distance of one another.

The function returns zero if the merge is successful; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub MergePointObjects()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim Name As String
      Dim Point1 As String, Point2 As String
      Dim NumberPoints As Long
      Dim PointName() As String

   'create Sap2000 object
      Set SapObject = New SAP2000.SapObject

   'start Sap2000 application
      SapObject.ApplicationStart

   'create SapModel object
      Set SapModel = SapObject.SapModel

   'initialize model
      ret = SapModel.InitializeNewModel

   'create model from template
      ret = SapModel.File.New2DFrame(PortalFrame, 2, 144, 2, 288)

   'add frame object by coordinates
      ret = SapModel.FrameObj.AddByCoord(-400, 0, 288, -289, 0, 288, Name)

   'refresh view
      ret = SapModel.View.RefreshView(0, False)

   'merge point objects
      ret = SapModel.SelectObj.ClearSelection
      ret = SapModel.PointObj.SetSelected("3", True)
      ret = SapModel.FrameObj.GetPoints(Name, Point1, Point2)
      ret = SapModel.PointObj.SetSelected(Point2, True)
      ret = SapModel.EditPoint.Merge(2, NumberPoints, PointName)

   'close Sap2000
      SapObject.ApplicationExit False
      Set SapModel = Nothing
      Set SapObject = Nothing
