Parameters
- Name
- Type:
System String
The name of an existing link object or group,
depending on the value of the ItemType item.
- Ang
- Type: System Double
This is the angle that the local 2 and 3 axes are rotated about the
positive local 1 axis, from the default orientation. The rotation for a positive
angle appears counter clockwise when the local +1 axis is pointing toward you. [deg].
- ItemType (Optional)
- Type: ETABS2015 eItemType
This is one of the items in the eItemType enumeration.
If this item is Objects, the assignment is made to
the link object specified by the Name item.
If this item is Group, the assignment is made to
all link objects in the group specified by the Name item.
If this item is SelectedObjects, the assignment is made to
all selected link objects, and the Name item is ignored.
Return Value
Returns zero if the local axis angle is successfully assigned;
otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
