Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: ReferencePoint

ReferencePoint.SetCoordinateSystem

Method

Description:
The position and orientation of the ReferencePoint.

Remarks:
The position of the point is given by CoordinateSystem.Origin, and the orientation is specified by the three unit vectors CoordinateSystem.BasisX, BasisY, BasisZ. The basis vectors must be unit length and mutually perpendicular. Whenever the Reference property is not null, changing the CoordinateSystem property has a compound effect. First the point is moved to the specified location. Then the point is moved to conform to its Reference, by the shortest possible distance.

Syntax

public void SetCoordinateSystem(
	Transform coordinateSystem
)

Public Sub SetCoordinateSystem ( 
	coordinateSystem As Transform
)

public:
void SetCoordinateSystem(
	Transform^ coordinateSystem
)

member SetCoordinateSystem : 
        coordinateSystem : Transform -> unit

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
coordinateSystem	Transform

Return Value

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	Thrown when coordinateSystem does not specify an orthonormal basis.
InvalidOperationException	Thrown when CoordinateSystem is set while the Reference property is not, and the ReferencePoint is unable to move to the new location.
