Namespace: Tekla.Structures.Model.Operations
Assembly: Tekla.Structures.Model (in Tekla.Structures.Model.dll) Version: 2023.0.3

Syntax

Copy

public static ModelObject CopyObject(
	ModelObject Object,
	Vector CopyVector
)

Public Shared Function CopyObject ( 
	Object As ModelObject,
	CopyVector As Vector
) As ModelObject

Parameters

Object: Type: Tekla.Structures.ModelModelObject
The model object to copy.
CopyVector: Type: Tekla.Structures.Geometry3dVector
The translation vector for copying.

Return Value

Type: ModelObject
The copied model object on success, null on failure.

Examples

In the following example a connection to the Tekla Structures model has already been established. The example code creates a beam to the model and copies the beam to a location that is one meter in the x and y directions.

Copy

using Tekla.Structures.Model;
using Tekla.Structures.Model.Operations;
using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           Beam Beam1 = new Beam(new Point(0, 0, 0), new Point(3000, 0, 0));
           Vector Vector1 = new Vector(1000, 1000, 0);
           Beam1.Profile.ProfileString = "PL10*140";
           if(Beam1.Insert())
           {
               Beam Beam2 = Operation.CopyObject(Beam1, Vector1) as Beam;
               if(Beam2 != null)
                   MessageBox.Show("Copy succeeded");
           }
       }
}
