Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: BeamSystem

BeamSystem.Create(Document, IList<Curve>, SketchPlane, Int32)

Method

Description:
Creates a 2D BeamSystem with specified profile curves.

Syntax

public static BeamSystem Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	SketchPlane sketchPlane,
	int curveIndexForDirection
)

Public Shared Function Create ( 
	document As Document,
	profile As IList(Of Curve),
	sketchPlane As SketchPlane,
	curveIndexForDirection As Integer
) As BeamSystem

public:

	Document^ document, 
	IList<Curve^>^ profile, 
	SketchPlane^ sketchPlane, 
	int curveIndexForDirection
)

static member Create : 
        document : Document * 
        profile : IList<Curve> * 
        sketchPlane : SketchPlane * 
        curveIndexForDirection : int -> BeamSystem

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	The document in which the new BeamSystem is created.
profile	IList	The profile of the BeamSystem.
sketchPlane	SketchPlane	The work-plane for the BeamSystem.
curveIndexForDirection	Int32	Index of the curve in the profile to be used as direction. '0' means the default direction-to use the first curve in profile. The curve from the profile to be used as direction must be a Line.

Return Value

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

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	SketchPlane is not valid for BeamSystem creation. -or- The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The profile curves must be in the sketch plane. -or- The curve index must be valid and the curve to be used as direction must be a Line.
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.
