Examples

    XYZ fourth = new XYZ(0, 0, 15);
    IList<Curve> profile = new List<Curve>();

    // Get application creation object
    Autodesk.Revit.Creation.Application appCreation = document.Application.Create;

    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(first, second));

    // Create a wall
    return Wall.Create(document, profile, wallType.Id, level.Id, true, normal);

End Function

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document	The document in which the new wall is created.
profile	Curve	An array of planar curves that represent the vertical profile 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.
structural	System.Boolean	If set, specifies that the wall is structural in nature.
normal	Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ	A vector that must be perpendicular to the profile which dictates which side of the wall is considered to be inside and outside.

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 input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.InvalidOperationException	Failed to create the wall.
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.
