ReplicateLinear

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.EditSolid.ReplicateLinear

VB6 Procedure

Function ReplicateLinear(ByVal dx As Double, ByVal dy As Double, ByVal dz As Double, ByVal Number As Long, ByRef NumberObjects As Long, ByRef ObjectName() As String, ByRef ObjectType() As Long, Optional Remove As Boolean = False) As Long

Parameters

dx, dy, dz

These are the x, y and z offsets used, in the present coordinate system, to replicate the selected objects.

Number

The number of times the selected objects are to be replicated.

NumberObjects

The number of new objects created by the replication process.

ObjectName

This is an array of the name of each object created by the replication process.

ObjectType

This is an array of the type of each object created by the replication process.

1 = Point object

2 = Frame object

3 = Cable object

4 = Tendon object

5 = Area object

6 = Solid object

7 = Link object

Remove

If this item is True, the originally selected objects are deleted after the replication is complete.

Remarks

This function linearly replicates selected objects.

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

VBA Example

Sub LinearReplication()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim NumberObjects As Long
      Dim ObjectName() As String
      Dim ObjectType() As Long

   '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)

   'linearly replicate
      ret = SapModel.SelectObj.All
      ret = SapModel.EditGeneral.ReplicateLinear(0, 288, 0, 1, NumberObjects, ObjectName, ObjectType)

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

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