Hi All,

I am using SAP2000 API (with C# programming language) to create structural models. I haven't been able to find the commands to do the following:

- set/display a specific view of the model (3D view with user-defined orientation)
- show only selected groups of structural elements
- automatically capture pictures of the model (showing force diagrams, displaced shapes, etc.) and save them in a specified folder, just like the 'capture picture' command does when using SAP2000 interactively.

Not sure if the commands to do any of the above do exist - I have been searching CSi OAPI Documentation but haven't found anything related.

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
S.
