Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.PointObj.GetLocalAxes

VB6 Procedure

Function GetLocalAxes(ByVal Name As String, ByRef a As Double, ByRef b As Double, ByRef c As Double, ByRef Advanced As Boolean) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing point object.

a, b, c

The local axes of the point are defined by first setting the positive local 1, 2 and 3 axes the same as the positive global X, Y and Z axes and then doing the following: [deg]

1.
Rotate about the 3 axis by angle a.

2.
Rotate about the resulting 2 axis by angle b.

3.
Rotate about the resulting 1 axis by angle c.

Advanced

This item is True if the point object local axes orientation was obtained using advanced local axes parameters.

Remarks

This function retrieves the local axes angles for a point object.

The function returns zero if the local axes angles are successfully retrieved, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

VBA Example

Sub GetPointLocalAxes()

'dimension variables

Dim SapObject as cOAPI

Dim SapModel As cSapModel

Dim ret As Long

Dim a As Double, b As Double, c As Double

Dim Advanced As Boolean

'create Sap2000 object

Set SapObject = CreateObject("CSI.SAP2000.API.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, 3, 124, 3, 200)

'get local axes assignments

ret = SapModel.PointObj.GetLocalAxes("1", a, b, c, Advanced)

'close Sap2000

SapObject.ApplicationExit False

Set SapModel = Nothing

Set SapObject = Nothing

End Sub
