Examples

In the following example a similar polygon is drawn to a view and to a sheet:

Copy

using Tekla.Structures.Drawing;
using Tekla.Structures.Drawing.Tools;
using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           DrawingHandler DrawingHandler = new DrawingHandler();

           ViewBase sheet = DrawingHandler.GetActiveDrawing().GetSheet();

           DrawingObjectEnumerator Views = sheet.GetAllObjects(typeof(View));

           Views.MoveNext();
           View myView = Views.Current as View;

           PointList PointsInView = new PointList();
           PointsInView.Add(new Point(0, 0));
           PointsInView.Add(new Point(100, 0));
           PointsInView.Add(new Point(100, 100));
           Polygon polygonInView = new Polygon(myView, PointsInView);
           polygonInView.Insert();
           PointList PointsInSheet = DrawingCoordinateConverter.Convert(myView, sheet, PointsInView);
           Polygon polygon = new Polygon(sheet, PointsInSheet);
           polygon.Insert();
       }
}
