Sub InsertRip( _
   ByVal Gap As System.Double _
) 

Dim instance As IModelDoc2
Dim Gap As System.Double
 
instance.InsertRip(Gap)

void InsertRip( 
   System.double Gap
)

void InsertRip( 
&   System.double Gap

Parameters

Gap

Size of the gap

The direction of the rip is determined by an encoded selection mark (see table and example).
