Examples

The following example creates a new coordinate system which is used to create a new view.

Copy

using System;
using Tekla.Structures.Drawing;
using Tekla.Structures.Geometry3d;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           Drawing GADrawing = new GADrawing();
           CoordinateSystem CoordinateSystem = new CoordinateSystem(new Point(), new Vector(1, 0, 0), new Vector(0, 1, 0));
           View newView = new View(GADrawing.GetSheet(), CoordinateSystem, CoordinateSystem, new AABB(new Point(0, 0), new Point(1000, 1000, 1000)));
       }
