Examples

An example of using the View and ViewHandler classes:

Copy

using System;
using Tekla.Structures.Model.UI;
using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d;

public class ViewExample
{
       public void ViewExample1()
       {
           View View = new View();
           View.Name = "Example View";
           View.ViewCoordinateSystem.AxisX = new Vector(1, 0, 0);
           View.ViewCoordinateSystem.AxisY = new Vector(0, 1, 0);
           // Work area has to be set for new views
           View.WorkArea.MinPoint = new Point(-3000, -3000, -3000);
           View.WorkArea.MaxPoint = new Point(15000, 33000, 12000);
           View.ViewDepthUp = 10000;
           View.ViewDepthDown = 2000;
           View.Insert();
           View.WorkArea.MinPoint = new Point(-3000, -3000, -3000);
           View.WorkArea.MaxPoint = new Point(5000, 3000, 2000);
           View.Modify();
       }
}

Copy

using Tekla.Structures.Model.UI;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           ModelViewEnumerator ViewEnum = ViewHandler.GetAllViews();
           while(ViewEnum.MoveNext())
           {
               View View = ViewEnum.Current;
               ViewHandler.HideView(View);
           }
       }
}
