Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	The document.
familySymbolId	ElementId	The id of a stiffener FamilySymbol.
hostId	ElementId	The id of the host ductwork.
distanceFromHostEnd	Double	The distance from the host primary end to place the hosted instance. Units are in feet (ft).

Return Value

Type	Description
FamilyInstance	The new stiffener family instance.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	document is not a project document. -or- familySymbolId is not a valid Element identifier. -or- hostId is not a valid Element identifier. -or- Invalid familySymbolId for stiffeners. -or- Host is not a straight ductwork.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The distance from host primary end is out of range.
InvalidOperationException	The profiles of family symbol and host are mismatch.
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.
RegenerationFailedException	Failed to create stiffener due to document regenerate error.
