ReplicateMirror

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.EditSolid.ReplicateMirror

VB6 Procedure

Function ReplicateMirror(ByVal Plane As Long, ByVal x1 As Double, ByVal y1 As Double, ByVal z1 As Double, ByVal x2 As Double, ByVal y2 As Double, ByVal z2 As Double, ByVal x3 As Double, ByVal y3 As Double, ByVal z3 As Double, ByRef NumberObjects As Long, ByRef ObjectName() As String, ByRef ObjectType() As Long, Optional Remove As Boolean = False) As Long

Parameters

Plane

This is 1, 2, 3 or 4, indicating the mirror plane type.

1 = Parallel to Z

2 = Parallel to X

3 = Parallel to Y

4 = 3D plane

x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, x3, y3, z3

These are the coordinates of three points used to define the mirror plane. [L]

When Plane = 1, x1, y1, x2 and y2 define the intersection of the mirror plane with the XY plane.

When Plane = 2, y1, z1, y2 and z2 define the intersection of the mirror plane with the YZ plane.

When Plane = 3, x1, z1, x2 and z2 define the intersection of the mirror plane with the XZ plane.

When Plane = 4, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, x3, y3 and z3 define three points that define the mirror plane.

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 mirror replicates selected objects.

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

VBA Example

Sub MirrorReplication()
   '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)

   'mirror replicate
      ret = SapModel.SelectObj.All
      ret = SapModel.EditGeneral.ReplicateMirror(1, 300, 0, 0, 300, 100, 0, 0, 0, 0, NumberObjects, ObjectName, ObjectType)

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

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