Alter layout of table

I'm trying to remove/add columns, programmatically, in a table. When using the API Explorer I can get a list of all kolumns and measures using GetLayout but my question is this: using an API, which method is appropriate for adding/removing columns in a table?

Best

Using the .NetSDK you could do something like this in C#:

ITable table = app.GetObject<Table>(<the id of the table object>);

using (table.SuspendedLayout)

{

     table.Properties.HyperCubeDef.Dimensions = table.Properties.HyperCubeDef.Dimensions.Where(KeepColumn);

}

And then "KeepColumn" would be a function that looks something like this:

private static bool KeepColumn(TableHyperCubeDimensionDef dimensionDef)

{

    return <logic to check that I want to keep dimension>;

}
