SetMaterialOverwrite

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.AreaObj.SetMaterialOverwrite

VB6 Procedure

Function SetMaterialOverwrite(ByVal Name As String, ByVal PropName As String, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing area object or group, depending on the value of the ItemType item.

PropName

This is None or a blank string, indicating that any existing material overwrites assigned to the specified area objects are to be removed, or it is the name of an existing material property.

ItemType

This is one of the following items in the eItemType enumeration:

Object = 0

Group = 1

SelectedObjects = 2

If this item is Object, the assignment is made to the area object specified by the Name item.

If this item is Group, the assignment is made to all area objects in the group specified by the Name item.

If this item is SelectedObjects, assignment is made to all selected area objects, and the Name item is ignored.

Remarks

This function sets the material overwrite assignment for area objects.

The function returns zero if the material overwrite assignment is successfully assigned; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub AssignAreaMaterialOverwrite()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret 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.NewWall(2, 48, 2, 48)

   'assign material overwrite
      ret = SapModel.AreaObj.SetMaterialOverwrite("3", "A992Fy50")
