ExtrudeFrameToAreaRadial

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.EditSolid.ExtrudeFrameToAreaRadial

VB6 Procedure

Function ExtrudeFrameToAreaRadial(ByVal Name As String, ByVal PropName As String, ByVal RotateAxis As Long, ByVal x As Double, ByVal y As Double, ByVal z As Double, ByVal IncrementAng As Double, ByVal TotalRise As Double, ByVal NumberAreas As Long, ByRef AreaName() As String, Optional Remove As Boolean = True) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing line object to be extruded.

PropName

This is Default, None or the name of a defined area property to be used for the new extruded area objects.

RotateAxis

This is 0, 1 or 2, indicating the axis that the radial extrusion is around.

0 = X axis

1 = Y axis

2 = Z axis

x, y, z

These are the x, y and z coordinates, in the present coordinate system, of the point that the radial extrusion is around. For rotation about the X axis the value of the x coordinate is irrelevant. Similarly, for rotation about the Y and Z axes the y and z coordinates, respectively, are irrelevant. [L]

IncrementAng

The angle is rotated by this amount for each added area object. [deg]

TotalRise

The total rise over the full length of the extrusion. [L]

NumberAreas

The number of area objects created when the specified line object is extruded.

AreaName

This is an array of the name of each area object created when the specified line object is extruded.

Remove

If this item is True, the straight frame object indicated by the Name item is deleted after the extrusion is complete.

Remarks

This function creates new area objects by radially extruding a specified straight frame object into area objects.

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

VBA Example

Sub RadialFrameExtrusionToAreas()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim AreaName() 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, 3, 288)

   'radially extrude frame to areas
      ret = SapModel.EditGeneral.ExtrudeFrameToAreaRadial("10", "Default", 2, 0, 0, 288, 30, 0, 6, AreaName)

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

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