Syntax
C#
public ObjectId SetElevationByOffset( ObjectId pointId, double offset )
Visual Basic
Public Function SetElevationByOffset ( _ pointId As ObjectId, _ offset As Double _ ) As ObjectId
Visual C++
public: ObjectId SetElevationByOffset( ObjectId pointId, double offset )
Parameters
- pointId
- Type: ObjectId
The ObjectId of the point you want to set the elevation for.
- offset
- Type: System.Double
An offset value to apply to the point's current elevation.
Return Value
If the method succeeds, it returns the same ObjectId pointId passed in. If the method fails, it returns ObjectId.Null.Examples
