Document.NewAreaBoundaryConditions(Reference, TranslationRotationValue, Double, TranslationRotationValue, Double, TranslationRotationValue, Double)

Method

Description:
Creates a new Area BoundaryConditions element on a reference.

Remarks:
This method will only function with the Autodesk Revit Structure application.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
reference	Reference	The Geometry reference obtained from a Wall, Slab or Slab Foundation.
X_Translation	TranslationRotationValue	A value indicating the X axis translation option.
X_TranslationSpringModulus	Double	Translation Spring Modulus for X axis. Ignored if X_Translation is not "Spring".
Y_Translation	TranslationRotationValue	A value indicating the Y axis translation option.
Y_TranslationSpringModulus	Double	Translation Spring Modulus for Y axis. Ignored if Y_Translation is not "Spring".
Z_Translation	TranslationRotationValue	A value indicating the Z axis translation option.
Z_TranslationSpringModulus	Double	Translation Spring Modulus for Z axis. Ignored if Z_Translation is not "Spring".

Return Value

Type	Description
BoundaryConditions	If successful, NewAreaBoundaryConditions returns an object for the newly created BoundaryConditions with the BoundaryType = 2 - "Area". is returned if the operation fails.
