Examples

public Wall CreateWallUsingCurve2(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document, Level level, WallType wallType)
{
    // Build a location line for the wall creation
    XYZ start = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
    XYZ end = new XYZ(10, 10, 0);
    Line geomLine = Line.CreateBound(start, end);

    // Determine the other parameters
    double height = 15;
    double offset = 3;

    // Create a wall using the location line and wall type
    return Wall.Create(document, geomLine, wallType.Id, level.Id, height, offset, true, true);
}

Public Function CreateWallUsingCurve2(document As Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document, level As Level, wallType As WallType) As Wall

    Dim start As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
    Dim [end] As New XYZ(10, 10, 0)
    Dim geomLine As Line = Line.CreateBound(start, [end])

    ' Determine the other parameters
    Dim height As Double = 15

    ' Create a wall using the location line and wall type
    Return Wall.Create(document, geomLine, wallType.Id, level.Id, height, offset, _
        True, True)
End Function

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document	The document in which the new wall is created.
curve	Autodesk.Revit.DB.Curve	A curve representing the base line of the wall.
wallTypeId	Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId	Id of the wall type to be used by the new wall instead of the default type.
levelId	Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId	Id of the level on which the wall is to be placed.
height	System.Double	The height of the wall other than the default height.
offset	System.Double	Modifies the wall's Base Offset parameter to determine its vertical placement.
flip	System.Boolean	Change which side of the wall is considered to be the inside and outside of the wall.
structural	System.Boolean	If set, specifies that the wall is structural in nature.

Return Value

Type	Description
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentException	If successful a new wall object within the project.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentException	The curve argument is not valid for wall creation.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The given value for height must be greater than 0 and no more than 30000 feet. -or- The given value for offset must be no more than 30000 feet in absolute value.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ModificationForbiddenException	The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ModificationOutsideTransactionException	The document has no open transaction.
