Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: BeamSystem

BeamSystem.Create(Document, IList<Curve>, Level, XYZ, Boolean)

Method

Description:
Creates a new BeamSystem with specified profile curves.

Syntax

public static BeamSystem Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	Level level,
	XYZ direction,
	bool is3d
)

Public Shared Function Create ( 
	document As Document,
	profile As IList(Of Curve),

        document : Document * 
        profile : IList<Curve> * 
        level : Level * 
        direction : XYZ *

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	The document in which the new BeamSystem is created.
profile	IList	The profile of the BeamSystem.
level	Level	The level on which the BeamSystem is to be created. The work-plane of the BeamSystem will be the sketch plane associated with the Level. If there is no current sketch plane associated with the level yet, we will create a default one.
direction	XYZ	The direction is the direction of the BeamSystem.
is3d	Boolean	Whether the BeamSystem is 3D. If the BeamSystem is 3D, the sketchPlane must be a level, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Return Value

Type	Description
BeamSystem	If successful, a new BeamSystem object will be returned.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The input level does not have associated plan view. -or- The plan view associated with the input level is not valid. -or- Can not get valid sketch plane from the input level.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
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.
ModificationOutsideTransactionException	The document has no open transaction.
