DeleteLateralBracing

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.FrameObj.DeleteLateralBracing

VB6 Procedure

Function DeleteLateralBracing(ByVal Name As String, Optional ByVal MyType As Long = 3, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing frame object or group, depending on the value of the ItemType item.

MyType

This is 1, 2 or 3, indicating the bracing to be deleted.

1 = Delete point bracing

2 = Delete uniform bracing

3 = Delete both point and uniform bracing

ItemType

This is one of the following items in the eItemType enumeration:

Object = 0

Group = 1

SelectedObjects = 2

If this item is Object, the lateral bracing assignments are deleted for the frame object specified by the Name item.

If this item is Group, the lateral bracing assignments are deleted for all frame objects in the group specified by the Name item.

If this item is SelectedObjects then the lateral bracing assignments are deleted for all selected frame objects, and the Name item is ignored.

Remarks

This function deletes the lateral bracing assignments for frame objects.

The function returns zero if the assignments are successfully deleted; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
