Point objects within this distance of one another are merged into one point object. [L]

NumberPoints

The number of the selected point objects that still exist after the merge is complete.

PointName

VBA Example

Sub MergePointObjects()

'dimension variables

Dim SapObject as cOAPI

Dim SapModel As cSapModel

Dim ret As Long

Dim Name As String

Dim Point1 As String, Point2 As String

Dim NumberPoints As Long

Dim PointName() As String

'create Sap2000 object

Set SapObject = CreateObject("CSI.SAP2000.API.SapObject")

'start Sap2000 application

SapObject.ApplicationStart

'create SapModel object

Set SapModel = SapObject.SapModel

'initialize model

ret = SapModel.InitializeNewModel

'create model from template

ret = SapModel.File.New2DFrame(PortalFrame, 2, 144, 2, 288)

'add frame object by coordinates

ret = SapModel.FrameObj.AddByCoord(-400, 0, 288, -289, 0, 288, Name)

'refresh view

ret = SapModel.View.RefreshView(0, False)

'merge point objects

ret = SapModel.SelectObj.ClearSelection

ret = SapModel.PointObj.SetSelected("3", True)

ret = SapModel.FrameObj.GetPoints(Name, Point1, Point2)

ret = SapModel.PointObj.SetSelected(Point2, True)

ret = SapModel.EditPoint.Merge(2, NumberPoints, PointName)

'close Sap2000
