VB6 Procedure

Function SetReinfLine(ByVal Name As String, ByRef ShapeName As String, ByVal X1 As Double, ByVal Y1 As Double, ByVal X2 As Double, ByVal Y2 As Double, Optional ByVal Spacing As Double = 6, Optional ByVal RebarSize As String = "", Optional ByVal EndBars As Boolean = False, ByVal MatRebar As String) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing frame section property that is a section designer section.

ShapeName

The name of an existing or new shape in a section designer property. If this is an existing shape, that shape is modified; otherwise, a new shape is added.

X1

The section designer X coordinate of the first drawn end point of the line reinforcing. [L]

Y1

The section designer Y coordinate of the first drawn end point of the line reinforcing. [L]

X2

The section designer X coordinate of the second drawn end point of the line reinforcing. [L]

Y2

The section designer Y coordinate of the second drawn end point of the line reinforcing. [L]

Spacing

The center-to-center spacing of the bars in the line pattern shape. [L]

Bar Size

The size of the reinforcing bars used in the line reinforcing shape.

EndBars

This item is True when there are bars at the end points of the line reinforcing.

MatRebar

The material property for the reinforcing steel.

Remarks

This function adds a new line reinforcing shape or modifies an existing shape to be a line reinforcing shape in a section designer property.

The function returns zero if the shape is successfully added or modified; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
