Parameters

Name

The name of an plane element.

NumberPoints

The number of point elements that define the plane element.

Point

This is an array containing the names of the point elements that define the plane element. The point names are in order around the plane element.

VBA Example

Sub GetPlaneElmPoints()
   'dimension variables
      Dim SapObject As Sap2000.SapObject
      Dim SapModel As cSapModel
      Dim ret As Long
      Dim NumberPoints As Long
      Dim Point() As String

   'create Sap2000 object
      Set SapObject = New SAP2000.SapObject

   'start Sap2000 application
      SapObject.ApplicationStart

   'create SapModel object
      Set SapModel = SapObject.SapModel

   'initialize model

   'create analysis model
      ret = SapModel.Analyze.CreateAnalysisModel

   'get names of points
      ret = SapModel.PlaneElm.GetPoints("3-2", NumberPoints, Point)

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