OperationMoveObject Method (ModelObject, Vector)

Moves the model object using the given translation vector.

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

Syntax

Copy

public static bool MoveObject(
	ModelObject Object,
	Vector TranslationVector
)

Public Shared Function MoveObject ( 
	Object As ModelObject,
	TranslationVector As Vector
) As Boolean

Parameters

Object: Type: Tekla.Structures.ModelModelObject
The model object to move.
TranslationVector: Type: Tekla.Structures.Geometry3dVector
The vector for moving the object.

Return Value

Type: Boolean
True on success, false on failure.

Remarks

Note that the object is moved and updated in the view so ModelObject.Modify() is not needed. Call Modify() only after the object's data has been updated with the ModelObject.Select() method.

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 moves the beam 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));
           Beam1.Profile.ProfileString = "PL10*140";
           if(Beam1.Insert())
           {
               Vector Vector1 = new Vector(1000, 1000, 0);

               if(Operation.MoveObject(Beam1, Vector1))
                   MessageBox.Show("Move succeeded");
           }
       }
}
