Estimados

Estoy aprendiendo a programar en visual basic para hacer aplicaciones para SAP2000.
Recien hice algo bien basico que es para dibujar un elemento shell rectangular con las
coordenadas que se obtienen de una planilla excel. Eso esta listo, pero ahora quiero definir el
espesor del shell y el material que se le asignará y aun no se como hacerlo. Alguien sabe
como??
les dejo el codigo que se ejecuta desde el visual basic del excel 2007

Sub AddAreaObjByCoord()
'dimension variables
Dim SapObject As SAP2000.SapObject
Dim SapModel As cSapModel
Dim ret As Long
Dim x() As Double
Dim y() As Double
Dim z() As Double
Dim Name As String

'create Sap2000 object

Set SapObject = New SAP2000.SapObject

'start Sap2000 application

SapObject.ApplicationStart

'create SapModel object

Set SapModel = SapObject.SapModel

'initialize model
ret = SapModel.InitializeNewModel(Ton_cm_C)

'create model from template

ret = SapModel.File.NewBlank

'add area object by coordinates

ReDim x(3)
ReDim y(3)
ReDim z(3)
x(0) = -Range("d12") / 2: y(0) = 0
x(1) = Range("d12") / 2: y(1) = 0
x(2) = Range("d12") / 2: y(2) = Range("f8")
x(3) = -Range("d12") / 2: y(3) = Range("f8")

ret = SapModel.AreaObj.AddByCoord(4, x, y, z, Name)

'refresh view
ret = SapModel.View.RefreshView(0, False)

'close Sap2000
Set SapModel = Nothing
Set SapObject = Nothing

End Sub
