Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.EditGeneral.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 
 ByVal 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 cOAPI

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 = 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, 
 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
