Examples
This example shows how to attempt to parse a Distance instance from a string.
using Tekla.Structures.Datatype;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           Distance.CurrentUnitType = Distance.UnitType.Millimeter;

           // If the string can not be parsed, an exception is thrown. To prevent the
           // exception we can use the Distance.TryParse instead. We'll use this variable
           // to hold the parsed value.
           Distance distance;

           // Distance.TryParse works just like the Distance.Parse method, except the method
           // returns a boolean value indicating whether the string was parsed and takes an
           // output variable for holding the result.
           bool parsed = Distance.TryParse("3", out distance);
       }
}
