UseSingleMaterialForWeldedShape

This only applies to the main material, and does not necessarily apply to all member types. This definitely applies to beams, columns, vertical braces, and purlins.

         If true, SDS2 will create a single piece of material to represent
         several welded plates.  If false, it will create plates as individual
         pieces and weld them together.
Declaration
public bool UseSingleMaterialForWeldedShape { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool

Methods

Add(Bolt)

Add a bolt to this member. After this is committed, this bolt object will be copied onto this member and this object will be on this member. If the original bolt came from another member, that bolt will still exist, but a bolt just like it will now be on this member. If it was a new bolt (made with the no args Bolt constructor) then a new bolt with those properties will be on this member.

         Further changes made to the object passed in here will impact the bolt added to this
         member.
Declaration
public void Add(Bolt bolt)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Bolt bolt

InvalidValueException

Thrown when the bolt is null or the member has not been added to the database.

Add(DetailView)

Add a new user view. These views are not visable via GetViews() until The transaction is committed. In some cases, adding a view may replace existing views instead of creating a new view. For example, adding a main view will replace the current main view. Adding a cross section view will create a new view.

Declaration
public void Add(DetailView view)
Parameters
Type Name Description
DetailView view
Remarks

Adding a view will add the same view to all members that share the same piecemark as defined by the piecemark before the transaction is committed. As such, developers should add views after committing any piecemark related changes.
