Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: TessellatedShapeBuilder

TessellatedShapeBuilder.CreateMeshByExtrusion

Method

Description:
Builds a mesh by extruding curve loop(s) along extrusion distance.

Remarks:
This function supports creation of a mesh given a collection of continuous curve loops, which are processed independently from each other. Loops with gaps or with curves with wrong flips will be split before processing.

Syntax

public static MeshFromGeometryOperationResult CreateMeshByExtrusion(
	IList<CurveLoop> profileLoops,
	XYZ extrusionDirection,
	double extrusionDistance,
	ElementId materialId

	IList<CurveLoop^>^ profileLoops, 
	XYZ^ extrusionDirection, 
	double extrusionDistance, 
	ElementId^ materialId
)

static member CreateMeshByExtrusion : 
        profileLoops : IList<CurveLoop> *

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
profileLoops	IList	The profile loops to be extruded. The loops will not be modified.
extrusionDirection	XYZ	Direction of extrusion. The length of this vector is ignored.
extrusionDistance	Double	The positive distance by which the loops are extruded in the direction of the input extrusionDir.
materialId	ElementId	Material which should be used by a constructed mesh.

Return Value

Type	Description
MeshFromGeometryOperationResult	Returns a mesh, which was constructed, and some additional information.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input value cannot be used as thickness for an extrusion, or blend, or wall layer, or similar geometric construct.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	extrusionDirection has zero length.
