BHoM/ETABS_Toolkit

Improve Feature for Moving Shells

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Description:

Currently, moving shells (Walls or Slabs) in ETABS via the BHoM is not carried out correctly.
- BHoM Error Message: "The Etabs API does not allow for updating of the geometry of panels."
"This includes the external edges as well as the openings."
"To update the panel geometry, delete the existing panel you want to update and create a new one."
It looks that the ETABS API provides a cEditGeneral.Move Method that moves any PointObj/FrameObj/AreaObj(?) that is selected (obj.SetSelected(....)).
- Test the method and see if possible to develop an algorithm in the BHoM based on it, thus, allowing to sort out the issue above.
