ExtrudePointToFrameRadial

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.EditSolid.ExtrudePointToFrameRadial

VB6 Procedure

Function ExtrudePointToFrameRadial(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 NumberFrames As Long, ByRef FrameName() As String) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing point object to be extruded.

PropName

This is Default, None or the name of a defined frame section property to be used for the new extruded frame 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 frame object. [deg]

TotalRise

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

NumberFrames

The number of frame objects created when the specified point object is extruded.

FrameName

This is an array of the name of each frame object created when the specified point object is extruded.

Remarks

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

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

VBA Example

Sub RadialPointExtrusionToFrames()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim FrameName() 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)

   'radially extrude point to frames
      ret = SapModel.EditGeneral.ExtrudePointToFrameRadial("3", "FSec1", 2, 0, 0, 288, 30, 0, 6, FrameName)

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

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