Hi @Rafal.Gaweda,

Could you please add a checkbox with on / off  Robot.Interactive parameter to the merge multiple bar add-in?

Attached.

Hi @Rafal.Gaweda,

It seems that you have attached an old exe file, without added option. Thanks in advance.

Can you please share me the code to merge bars

Hi @Rafal.Gaweda ,

I need apply "merge bars" by VBA in my code, but this addin is in C#, I can not study well the commands for merge.

On what commands is the addin based to merge bars?

Thanks a lot.

Hi @psanchez 

Truly saying it is just replacing one bar node by another node number and deleting bars.

Of course this is not all. More tricky things about applying properties, merging loads etc.

Hi @Rafal.Gaweda 

Thanks for your feedback.

In my case, this is the initial structure:

The node 149 is the endnode for bar 34 and the start node for 33 bar. The node 266 is load node in bar 34.

My purpose is change the commun node 149 to the node 266, that is to say the node 266 must be the end node for bar 34 and the start node for bar 33.

I understand the process is something like this:

1. Divide the bar 34 by node 266
2. Merge the new resultan bar with bar 33, for this:
   1. delete both bars
   2. create new bar between nodes 266 and end node of bar 33.
   3. copy loads in new bar created, in my case there is not load in that new bar.

Is that so?

Could you help me with a draft code, please?

Thanks a lot!!
